Lovely cabinetAnonymous reviewerI was sceptical about buying this cabinet, especially after reading the reviews but I needn’t of been. It was pretty straight forward to put together, yes the doors needed adjusting a few times to line up but that wasn’t a problem and I absolutely love the finished product. 4
Looks good when doors close levelAnonymous reviewerDoors extremely heavy, makes unit tip forward, also not very stable, wiggles from side to side, tried not to pay attention to the reviews but they are as bad as they seem, hopefully someone from ikea can contact me to discuss as £170 is a lot for the quality I got.2
AWFUL FURNITURE TO ASSEMBLE!Anonymous reviewerAside from the fact it was damaged on arrival (noticed only after I had part assembled), it is, quite frankly, the most god awful furniture to assemble that I have ever had the misfortune to do. It doesn't go together AT ALL! At this point I am waiting for a second pair of hands to arrive to try and hold the damn thing together so I can try and get the screw things to turn. Failing that, it will become kindling!1
Poor quality and disappointing sideboardAnonymous reviewerThe quality and construction of this sideboard was very disappointing. Once built, it was not stable. It shifts left to right and needs heavy contents within the sideboard to ensure the unit doesn't fall over.
I've built a lot of different types of ikea furniture in my time and have found the quality good and straight forward to put together, but this piece felt unnecessarily difficult due to poor quality parts.
I would not recommend buying any of the Besta range for this reason.2
Looks Great, wobble easily sorted.Anonymous reviewerThe unit looks really great when put together,
especially teamed up with a 120cm black glass besta top panel. and a couple of nice very slim desginer nickle handles I got from ebay.
The only negative is the slight left and right flex when free standing and not fixed to the wall with the top fixings.
It's easy to sort, just glue the back panel into the grooved outside edge at the rear, square it up and leave to set.
its solid as a rock then.4
Looks great but wobblyAnonymous reviewerThe unit looks great but as soon as you opened the doors it wobbled. All instructions were followed to the letter but we had to buy non Ikea parts to make this unit sturdy. I would expect more from Ikea, really has left a sour taste in my mouth and will make me think twice about being any furniture from you in the future2
LovelyAnonymous reviewerI was really apprehensive after reading the reviews however, it’s sturdy, easy to build and looks lovely in the living room.5
Poor qualityAnonymous reviewerLike maybe people on here, poor quality, and wobbles. If I push the end slightly the doors don't line up any more, I have to push the other side to line them up. I've been buying IKEA for years, prices have gone up, quality down. I suspect the cheap plastic fixings have something to do with it. Also some of the screws heads are so cheap they strip easily. I'm disappointed.1
Good look - but this BESTA storage combination proved difficult to assemble and unstableAnonymous reviewerI bought one of these units based on previous experience with assembling and fitting Billy book cases and other self assembly ikea furniture. However, this was the worst IKEA product to assemble that I have ever bought. All the pre drilled holes seemed too small for the screws supplied which made it extremely difficult to fit together. Nothing fitted together easily and when assembled the heavy doors caused the unit to topple forwards. This means I will have to screw into the wall to secure even though it is a relatively low floor standing cabinet. It does look good when assembled, but I was very disappointed with the difficulty in assembling due to mismatching screws/pre drilled holes , indicating poor quality control. I would not buy this product again.
