Product details
Use throughout the home, as a standalone or with other VIHALS furniture.
The 14.5 inch depth means that the sideboard easily fits even in tight spaces, such as a hallway or smaller dining area.
Place your favorite objects on display on top of the sideboard and hide items that tend to clutter in the drawers or behind doors.
Drawers and cabinet space allow you to fit both smaller and larger items.
Two drawers make it easy to keep your belongings organized. The shelves behind the doors give you even more storage space.
1 adjustable shelf behind each door.
The frame is easier to assemble thanks to the clever construction with wedge dowels that are conveniently pressed into the pre-drilled holes.
The majority of the materials used in VIHALS come from renewable sources.

Reviews
Very niceStephanieI bought mine purposely for my board games. I wanted to hide them and store them. I replaced a shelf I used for games with this and I love it. I actually have extra room for other things because it’s spacious.
Not as good as other Ikea productsRyanIt functions but pretty disappointed with this product quality. The top came with white paint speckles all over the top. I mostly scrapped these off- but come on! It was also missing 4 screws. Also, Ikea products usually have at least some real wood but this one had none. Connectors are now plastic instead of metal. And the instructions were really hard to follow. I've been buying Ikea products for many years and this is the worst one I've ever put together!!
Really Sturdy StefaniaReally heavy but really sturdy. I would trust my fine china and crystal in there.
Product functions well but some pieces are incredibly brittleKaylaWhen the sideboard arrived in delivery, one of the super thin railings on the side had already broken off. The assembly process crumbled it completely, on both sides. The rest of the assembly was okay. The sideboard looks nice and is still functional since the broken parts are at the back, but I cannot say this is a quality product.
The other feedback is around the bizarre replacement process. I had called IKEA about the broken railing and they agreed to ship a replacement for the broken part only.
Instead of a replacement part, I received an entire VIHALS (both boxes) and then, about 15 minutes later, a second IKEA crew asking to pick it up. Since I was not instructed to ship anything back, I didn't know what to do, so I declined.
When I called IKEA to clarify, they said that what I should do is open the new box, find the one piece I need, and give the rest of it back to the IKEA pickup crew even if the box was not intact. This process is sloppy and confusing.
Better than expectedDavidThe Vihals unit makes a terrific sideboard in our apartment. With two drawers and large cabinets, it provides a clean line and it's depth allows lots of storage. The finish is good and looks great.
Great piece!SaraEasy to put together and looks great in my dining room. I bought this for extra storage and it matches perfectly.
Best thing from IKEAAlyssaI love how they engineered this. Probably the most solid thing I've ever bought from IKEA. The drawers were much easier to put together than the PAX ones I'd assembled before. And the door fronts were very easy to adjust. Hope they sell this for a long time.
Great addition to our living space CindyWe are short on storage in a 1937 bungalow. This cabinet stores all of our extensive media collection, candles, batteries, and miscellaneous in an organized fashion. Pretty straightforward assembly instructions and you definitely need 2 people.
Missing and incorrect parts!LisaThis is the last cheap Ikea piece of furniture I will buy. I purchased two Vihals sideboard units and the first one assembled Ok but it was missing the screws to attach the drawer pulls. Also, bits of it broke off as it was being assembled. It's constructed of very cheap materials. The second unit was missing the drawer screws again and drawer runners. The back pieces will not line up with the holes no matter how I turn them. Also missing are the plastic pieces that go into the holes to secure it to the back. I've now ordered them twice (once via that chat feature and the other by phone) and I don't have any confidence I'll see them. I would have returned both pieces but I live over two hours away and it is $45 in gas to do so. I've bought Ikea furniture for years and I'd rather pay three times what these cost for a better quality piece of furniture. Very disappointing.
Missing entire back piece. Drawer crooked.AmyThe entire back piece is missing!! That’s right - you need two back pieces to assemble and only one in the box. Leaves a giant opening in the back. Also the drawer slide holes on the right side panel are higher than everything else. This results in a crooked right drawer that is high on that side, doesn’t close properly, and gets stuck. Really poor quality control on this item.
Kitchen Buffet MonicaIt’s convenient, easy to assemble but you must be very careful screwing in this product. It’s not made of the best material to tighten up.
Sufficient for my sufficient for my needs, not the highest quality, easy to put togetherAngiePros: it fit a very specific space for which it was needed. It is easy to put together. The back is sturdier than the usual cardboard/masonite backing that is more typical of this level of furntiture. Cons: ghastly cheap particle board. I would not plan to move this around, as it is bound to loosen over time. The particle board itself breakes very easily, so it won't take much wear and tear. I hate the slot-style connection system. It makes a fairly simple build a two-person job unnecessarily. It's difficult to adjust the doors so that they don't have gaps. I'm concerned with how well this will hold up over time and whether or not I can successfully mount some things to it that I want for my craft room.
Poor material GlorivetteI do sad to do this review because I love IKEA. I buy and at the moment started installing the pieces start falling and breaking, when you try to assemble every part loose a corner or cracks. I a very bad quality. Definitely don’t recommend. The sad part I can’t return to the store because is to big to fit in my car.
Happy with purchase BrookeFunctions well & holds more than I expected
Great sideboard for the price but beware particle boardWilliamLike all Ikea furniture all the parts fit perfectly and it looks gorgeous in the space I have it. The instructions were fine, maybe not as crystal clear as some of their other products but if you take your time and pay attention it isn't a problem. Assembly was easy as well. One step calls for two people (when the heavier top has to lifted into place) but this arthritic 70yr old had no problem. The one issue that I knew going in was that this piece is particle board, and one must be careful when torquing screws. Sure enough, when putting one of the hinges on the board crumbled under one of the screws. Luckily the other screw held tight and I was able to find a slightly larger / deeper screw and gently got it to grab a bit. It could have been a disaster but all's well that ends well. I'm really happy with it, especially for the price. Going forward I think I'll spend the extra $ and stick with Ikea hardwood or fiberboard, especially for the larger pieces.
Cheap Anonymous reviewerI have purchased and assembled IKEA products. This one is falling apart as we put it together. I need wood glue to keep pieces together. Disappointing
AwesomeClaudiaI LOVE IT!!
Pretty, functional and not to expensiveClaudiaJust a little difficult to ensamble
It served it’s purposeAshleyIt felt nice and sturdy for a while. The drawer face broke off after a few months.
Assembly has major flaws, unclear pictures and the particle board cracks during the processAnonymous reviewerI have purchased thousands of dollars of IKEA products of various types- everything from PAX to Best. This was impossible and ended up cracking during the process of assembly in several areas. I'm guessing but there is a part where they have you insert an anti-tipping device that was not part of the initial design. I reviewed it, had friends look at it and I sort of see what they want you to do (but of course can't manage to write instructions with words even though translation devices are easily accessible). This was a huge disappointment and has made me decide to no longer for special finds at Ikea to mix with my other pieces from higher end stores. The assembly is so poorly illustrated and thought out, it's insulting. I will now be putting this piece by piece in the garbage. Huge disappointment.
