Did I get bad hardware or is nobody end-to-end testing this?IngerThere appears to be a problem with part number 10005132, the "female" half of the assembly used to connect the arms to the main body components. The part has a straight slot, indicating that it needs a slotted screwdriver, but the indentation is so shallow that my screwdriver won't stay in it. This is compounded by the fact that the "male" half, part 10050150, has its threads coated with the blue substance that is used to ensure a tight fit, and expects the other half of the fastener to really stay put in order to drive it home.
I cannot take this hardware any further than finger tightening. I'm so frustrated. Did anyone test this? Surely a tester with normal household tools didn't give this design the thumbs up. I can't help but wonder if I got a bad batch of fasteners.
Great idea, decent design, bad build.ChaseThis organizer is an excellent idea. I got it on a "now or never" sale. It's very thin plywood, but not sanded, so lots of knowing-in-advance and prep-work if you're painting or staining it. The construction is such that the top doesn't actually properly align. With the sale, worth it, but I certainly wouldn't pay anything near full price for this, especially needing to sand and prep it before any stain or paint is applied (if you choose to do that at all).
Also, if you're like me and can build an entire infotainment flatpack in an hour... get ready. This little box is the most awkward thing I've ever put together. You need Philips and flathead screwdrivers at the same time, power tools are useless, wood dust is going to get all over you, and the hand motions to construct it are extremely awkward. Don't attempt if you have wrist or tendon problems.
I'm keeping mine, but it's an outdoor garden box I might oil or might just expose to the elements for a natural finish over time.
Nice box but needs some tweakingIsabelleAs is, it could use a little bit of attention to detail, otherwise it is pretty decent, especially at nearly 50% off. As other reviews have mentioned, the pieces could do with a bit of sanding before assembling. I used both flathead and phillips screwdrivers to assemble it. The Locktite inside the ferrules makes it a little more difficult to put together, but all the holes lined up properly. If I get another box, I might replace the hardware using acorn nuts instead of the ferrules instead.
Great storageSandyI use this box to store items for building miniatures for my dollhouse. It's well built and easy to use. It comes unfinished so you can customize it to your taste.
Poor quality and annoying assemblyAlexThe wood is very splintery and rather ugly looking. Once assembled the top and bottom are misaligned (despite using all the pre drilled holes) and the box is hard to open.
I love this so much!ElizabethI sanded down all the pieces and then sprayed with bees wax before assembling. I intended to use this for knitting tools, but I like it so much I went back and bought 4 more. It’s portable and perfect for collections of small things. I’m planning to give one to a grandchild to hold treasures.
Fine bu not specialEmilyThis box is fine. Easy enough to assemble and fairly practical. But there is nothing special about it and to make it a better quality you'd want to sand and paint it.
I got mine on sale for half price and that seemed like a reasonable cost for it. I would not have wanted to pay full price
craft box SuzanneI am using it as a craft box / sewing kit storage. I like the size and style however the wood is very dry and edges are rough, one could easily snag material. I am going to oil it up with some wood stain I have and then hopefully the oils will moisturize it a bit. The hinges (top part) are a bit stiff but that could be also because I screwed them in tight? overall I am happy with the purchase and feel it's a useful product.
Looks like a storage / craft project .JoyI bought this for my 9 year old granddaughter to paint, decorate and use for her first sewing kit. She likes to sew and always wants to use mine so this will be her Christmas gift this year.
Easy to put togetherPaulaI always wonder why people buy Ikea if they can't read directions and put stuff together and use simple tools. Cute box.
All Around DisappointmentMorganThe concept is great, but it is clear that the designers for this product never actually tried to build it themselves.
The hardware is mismatched, which made installation so difficult that it hurt my wrist. Plenty of the pre-drilled holes were out of alignment, so the piece comes out wobbly and crooked.
Also, the quality of the wood is poor, with just the weight of my forearm resting on the edge of the board during assembly was enough to splinter off several small wood slivers.
Awesome Wooden BoxBobGreat real wood box for sewing, fishing, and collections small stuff. Easy to put together and you can stain, paint, or oil the wood.
Nice little wooden art box, painful to buildJayI like the design of this product. It fits my art supplies well and is sturdy. Though I am not one to complain about constructing IKEA stuff, I usually enjoy it. This was a pain though, so many little screws and washers, for something so simple, it felt a little much.
I think it is well constructedElizabethIt works for what I bought it for.
Great little box, But only if you can figure out assembly!PatriciaThis is a nice little box, of good size, and constructed of very nice 1/4 inch, 5 ply plywood. As a woodworker with an engineering background, I like this box. Many people are complaining about the assembly, and many are saying that it is wobbly. Actually, it is wobbly because it is almost impossible to put together as described. Unfortunately, the screws are engineered poorly. The hollow screws have very shallow grooves, making it very difficult to stabilize them with a slotted screwdriver. The male screws that insert into these, are slightly too large and very difficult to screw in. This would make them loose, and the box wobbly. The manufacturer should re-engineer these. The way to actually put it together would be to stabilize the hollow screw with the side of a dinner knife, while screwing in the small screw with a strong portable drill using a Phillips head driver. This will make assembly much easier and will lead to a very strong, stable box. No more wobble!

Great product DannyEasy to assemble
Not Made in SwedenMichaelWell simplistic and practical designed. Not made in Sweden.
Perfect size sewing boxNormaI’m going to shabby chic this up and store all the bits of my English Paper Piecing. I like how it’s raw wood and we can all put our own spin on the finish. Great value and pride of craftsmanship.
Perfect Mobile Station for any Hobby!ShawnAll I can say is it just hits the mark if you have a hobby that you need to pick up and move at any given moment! Assembly required, but totally worth it on the other side!
