Airsprung 9 Drawer Chest

For the money these are a good buy. Delivered on time in one heavy pack.

Instructions were clear but really simple to carry out anyway. Took me about 1 hour with tea-break distractions.

Material is mostly thick laminated chipboard, fiberboard drawer inserts, wooden knobs, plastic runners and feet.

Uses the common "camlok" system and a "dry" assembly technique so a cross head screwdriver, a mallet and a small hammer are all the tools required though you are asked to check squareness of the build by measuring diagonally across the frame.

Only fault on ours was a damaged laminate edge to the bottom front face of one of the large drawer fronts, I wont worry about it as it hardly shows when fitted in the bottom most drawer.

The wife says the size (front to back) of the drawers is a bit short for shirts and folded towels,(she always worries about size!), she would have preferred more than the supplied 28.5cm depth and 15cm height (drawer internal size), I don't think any of the sellers of chest of drawers state what the internal sizes are, something that I feel is important.

The drawers have no "stop" to them to prevent being pulled completely out.

All fixing parts were supplied in a sealed bag plus 4 loose camloks so it seems like they had to throw in the extras due to a mis-count at the factory.

I thought the mini-grippers for holding the nails as you hammered them in the back panel were a great idea, meant that the nails went in vertically and the correct distance from the edge of the panel.

We will probably buy another to match it as we seem to have so much laundry in our home.

Hope this report helps you with your choice.
