AwfulAnonymous reviewerDo you want a set of drawers that could wake up the whole house with clunky and scraping? Drawers that may or may not open? Look no further than the heap of rubbish known as Vihals. This waste of time and materials has a “safety feature” that prevents tipping. That feature is a locking mechanism, except it isn’t ‘disengaged’ when all the drawers are closed, so the first drawer you open has to click out of the mechanism (it clicks it 90 degrees to then lock the rest) Sooth and effective? No, loud and glitchy, it regularly catches, preventing the drawer from being opened, even when everything else is closed. The drawer rails are not smooth either, scraping and squeaking. Hideous.
The build was a nightmare. Brute force regularly required as things didn’t fit correctly, many of the corners already had damage but crumbled during build. Sadly I’m disabled so cannot simply return this. I’m done with IKEA, clearly the quality is gone.1
Good peice of bedroom furnitureAnonymous reviewerAt first the large number of parts and screws etc could be a little daunting, but if you take your time and properly study and follow the directions it really did all come together easily and quickly.
Sturdy and practical.
Would buy again if we required another chest of drawers.5

Great value for money.5

SleekAnonymous reviewerSleek and elegant these drawers look fab in my teen daughters room. 5
DecentAnonymous reviewerGood, solid chest of drawers. Leave yourself plenty of working room and take your time and it all goes together easily. Just watch for the left and right drawer runners as they are handed.4
Reasonable quality Anonymous reviewerNothing special, quite basic, reasonable quality, hopefully will last a period of time.3
VihalsAnonymous reviewerExcellent. High quality chest of drawers 5
Great purchaseAnonymous reviewerEasy to assemble. Needs 2 people. Bought for the hallways for extra storage - deep drawers which are soft close. Really pleased.5
ExcellentAnonymous reviewerSo easy to build! Me and my Mum who is in her seventies built this in no time, the pieces are not heavy to lift.
The chest of draws are excellent quality and look fantastic. I am delighted with my purchase.
I love the safety feature that allows only one draw to be open at a time, as they are in my young daughter’s bedroom. 5
Great Anonymous reviewerExcellent 5
Dire instructions Anonymous reviewerPlease can you use words sometimes as pictures are not always sufficient. On some of the stages it is not clear which way some fittings go. Took me 5 hours to put together…..also, when did you start using plastic fittings instead of metal? Very cheap and this makes the furniture less stable. Some things just should not be cost cutting exercises.3
GreatAnonymous reviewerPerfect for kids room. Great height. Good to have the 2 deeper drawers for thicker things like jumpers. Very sturdy. Only 4 stars as the instructions weren't the clearest of what the top and bottom piece was. 4
Why would you ever need to anchor this to a wall?Anonymous reviewerI'd genuinely like to see someone demonstrate how this chest of drawers could possibly tip over if it isn't anchored to a wall. It's far too low and wide to top, which makes the 'safety' mechanism a total waste of time and essentially just an inconvenience. The drawers also sit leaving overly large and inconsistent gaps between their frontages and the edges of the chest and the holes at the rear, ostensibly for anchoring, leave a hole that makes it overly easy for moths to get in at woolens. Really poor for the price.2
Nice chest of drawers but a huge hassleAnonymous reviewerThis is a nice chest of drawers but it is a COLOSSAL hassle to assemble and the instructions are not great at all. You will need two people and 2-3 hours at least to assemble it, and that's without anchoring it to the wall.3
