Very nice 👍🏼 product.SopheTo show off our travel souvenirs and stores blanket, drawers for tea stuff. It’s hard to put it together- tip- look at the booklet and identify the details of hinges carefully! And good luck 🍀 5
Nice piece of furnitureAnonymous reviewerWe went to the Ikea store to view the sideboard and picked it up ourselves. The item was packed in four boxes and was easily transported. All parts where in pristine condition and labeled for assembly. We had no issues with assembly. I think people had issues with the screws being stripped because they used a screwdriver too large. You need two sizes of screwdrivers. The hinge screws and the drawer stops required a smaller size Phillips screwdriver to be properly installed. Also, install the screws and tighten by hand. The screws are not hardened and will strip easily if you use a drill/diver if not secured correctly into the slot. I felt comfortable using a driver but did the final tightening by hand. 5
Really niceEricaI do love the size of the buffet, it’s well made and has a nice finish. I bought it in the As Is and feel like it’s worth the discounted price. Not sure it’s worth full price. Thinking of getting some frosted film to cover the glass. 4
Love this pieceAnonymousThis replaced a piece in my entryway. Drawers are perfect for spare keys and dog poop bags all the last minute things you need before heading out. I have curio items that i put on the shelves and i have motion sensitive strip lights that i want to install under the drawers. 5
AWFUL SCREWSMelissaThis is beautiful and I am finishing build it now. But if I pay $600 for something CAN THE SCREWS PLEASE NOT STRIP AFTER 2 TURNS OF A SCREWDRIVER? Unable to use the drawer stop mechanism due to this and also can’t get the hinges as tight as I would like as well. I’m remembering now why I swore this place off for furniture that’s already built - at the same price, mind you. STEP IT UP IKEA.3
Beautiful and great qualityAnastassiaLove this piece. It is good quality, durable and a statement piece!! The smoky glass is gorgeous.5
Pretty good for my new spaceVanessaRecently moved and needed extra storage space. This sideboard matched other furniture in the house but it is a bit more gray than pictured. I put it together by myself and it took around 3-4 hours total. I didn't have any issues with stripped screws, but I would say I have built a fair share of IKEA furniture. The most annoying thing for me was seeing a little chip in the corner and a nick in the glass as I was unboxing. Not too noticable from afar, but for the price I would expect no scratches. I'm leaving as is because Ikea is over an hour away from me and I cannot carry it alone as it has already been built. Otherwise good starter piece.4
This build will haunt your dreamsStevenFirst and foremost, know that the "grey brown" color is paler/less "warm" than what is pictured. If you have any doubts whatsoever, go to the store and look at it with your eyeballs first.
I am convinced this was designed by Shiva, because it assumes you have at least six hands to put in fiddly little screws while holding a glass door up in midair, with the screwdriver partially obstructed by a drawer. You know that little warning in the front of the instructions that suggests building things with two people? This is the first Ikea item I've ever built, for which this isn't just a cute suggestion. You need a team of four carpenters and perhaps an intern for this. Even with all that help, you will strip *every* screw used in all four doors, because they're both metric, and seemingly manufactured out of cheese. Power tools of any kind will grind them into dust. So, if you wish to maintain your sanity, build this with a lot of help from your friends, and expect it to take all afternoon.2
