Horrible assembly Anonymous reviewerIt looks easy at first but the screws don’t fit properly and unable to tighten it to the main part. Returned it as soon as I could. 1
Looks nice. Awful to put togetherAnonymous reviewerNice idea and looks nice as a design. You have to build it inside the mesh which makes it incredibly fiddly. The screws that hold it in place are terrible and half of them rounded out instantly and we had to request more screws. Eventually got it up with 2 of us.3
Terrible assembly experience!Anonymous reviewerThe product itself is quite nice, but assembling it was a nightmare. The design is poor, and some of the holes were drilled incorrectly. After spending several frustrating hours trying to put it together, I can honestly say it wasn't worth the hassle.2
Bad design Anonymous reviewer The assembly process is complicated, and the price is too high for the quality offered1
Fiddly assembly Anonymous reviewerBy far the most infuriating IKEA product I have ever put together, would rather tackle wardrobes and beds than this. Getting the cross framework to align is nearly impossible, needs one person holding in place to be able to do it. 2
Fiddly!Anonymous reviewerRead the reviews and thought "how hard could it be". It took ~40 minutes to put this together - more than most IKEA products, but overall not too bad. Getting the crossbars to align was the trickiest bit. Good capacity for storing my daughter's (many!) stuffed toys3
Awful assemblyAnonymous reviewerNot surprised this is a 'last chance' buy. The assembly is awful. We ended up giving it away in the hope someone else csn put it together rather than landfill.1
Much easier to build than they’re sayingAnonymous reviewerI just built this in under 30 minutes, with a puppy and a 5 month old “helping.” It’s not nearly as fiddly as the reviews suggest. There are only 10 parts and 8 screws. It doesn’t snap together like Lego as some Ikea designs do, but it’s no more fiddly than putting runners on drawers.
4* as good price and function. Dropped a star for robustness as netting/nylon is a little bit flimsier than would be ideal4
Looks great but so frustrating to assembleAnonymous reviewerI nearly hurled this across the room multiple times while assembling it. The most FRUSTRATING thing to ever put together. Once up though it does looks great! 3
Listen to the reviews!Anonymous reviewerThis product is fine. Totally fine. It looks alright in my kids’ bedroom and fits lots of toys. I like that you can use the top as a sort of table.
But my god. There is no excuse for this to be so excrutiating to put together. I did it alone which was a mistake but I thought all the other people who went before me were wrong. They were not wrong. It is as frustrating, fiddly and rage-inducing as they all say. I would never want to make it again. So let’s hope it doesn’t break anytime soon.
I’m really not sure the final outcome is worth the pain. Read the reviews of the other colour, and then maybe don’t buy it. Or do if there are two of you and you hate yourselves.3
