Corona Solid Sideboard 2 Door 2 Drawer Wood Pine Wooden Dresser Cabinet Side Unit Cupboard Living Room Hallway Lounge Bedroom Mexican Style 76cm High 87cm Wide 40cm Deep

I have installed the cabinet in my kitchen dinner, looks good with my pine dining table and chairs. My son put it together for me and was impressed with where all the holes were drilled in the right places. It’s very sturdy and has eliminated clutter from my dining table, good storage, works well for me. Great value for the money.

Lovely unit exactly as described looks more expensive than it is

I found this unit to be of good quality for the price and in the right shade of pine as some are darker than others. Lovely black handles that contrast against the pine. It was simple to put together and I managed to get the sidetable assembled quickly with the help of one other person. All the parts were present as described and it looks nice once put together. I don't expect it to last decades but for some cheap and cheerful furniture that will look nice for a few years you will do well with the corona collection.

Not easy to assemble but looks lovely great for the price, have also ordered tv stand

Probably the best piece of flat pack furniture I have ever purchased. Delivered promptly within two days. Package was a single large yet manageable well protected box. Every piece was delivered and of good quality, with more than enough screws to complete the job. The 13 step instruction booklet is easy to follow. You will need a Philips screwdriver. A flat head screwdriver and a mallet to tap in the dowel rods. It suggests that it will take two people 40 minutes to put together. I worked alone and had it completed within two and half hours (with a tea break or two in between). The wood is solid and of good quality, all the pre drilled holes are in the right places and in line, unlike other flat pack furniture available at another well known company! The draws and cupboard doors fit neatly with no off centre gaps. The shelf inside can be moved to different positions and the draws are deep. All in all I am very pleased, there is no reason that this piece will not last for many many years. I am already considering which piece from this range to buy next. Fear flat pack no more!

I'm no joiner that's for sure so I found this thing a nightmare to put together due to the instructions warning you mustn't use power tools. No doubt someone adept at joinery would have used power tools irrespective but I stuck to the instructions. Consequently I found quite a few of the screws really hard to drive into the pre-drilled holes by hand (and more importantly straight) without ruining the screwdriver or mashing the heads of the screws. As with so many flat pack instructions it recommends two people to construct it which I think would have made things easier but as it was I had to go it alone and wouldn't care to do it again. That said, two large blisters later I do really like the finished article and it's been much commented upon. All's well that ends well.

After two and a half hours we gave up,supplied with. Screws that were not long enough and as for the plans they are a joke too small the letters that were in the seale.d packet s didn’t correspond with anything i could go on don’t bother

I already have a Corona Book shelf, TV unit and Merchants Chest. And always had room from a sideboard but only recently got around to acquiring it. The Book shelf, TV unit, Merchants chest were acquired about 10yrs ago, of which the chest and TV unit gave me a couple of assembly issues. So, I had an idea of what I was getting myself into with this sideboard. I'm not comfortable paying hundreds of pounds for furniture that I'll rarely see, i.e I spend most hours at work, in the gym or out. So, this sideboard's practicality (for my needs) and price point were enticing enough. This sideboard's quality is much better than the Corona items that I'd previously bought. The pine sections are of a better quality, and on the whole the fixing holes match up. Instructions are just diagrams that require patience and an eye for small details. i.e. fixings that are very similar in dimensions but have very different purposes. Also, some wooden sections of internal frame work are very similar but different. So, watch out. It is also important to obey the advice that power tool for screws must not be used, as the wood can split with ease when using power tool, in my experience. Warning on storage: I didn't have time to immediately put it together, though I checked the contents right away, and stored it in my garage. My garage isn't insulated and prone to high humidity. So, when I got around to assembly I found that the doors, which are prefabricated and made of several bits, had warped a little and became wider than the its opening. But once I brought them into my house, and left them for a couple of days they returned to their original shape. The drawer bottoms and backing are made of 4mm MDF, which is of a much better quality than my other Corona furniture. Assembling one of the drawers took a little shimmying to get the base in. The corona pine look as it is, looks great on a warm sunny day in my living room. Value: I purchased this at £62.99 and regard it as value for money, but I've seen it advertised for £99 (in its basic form). Though I've also seen upscaled specimens at £136. The basic item is not, in my opinion worth £99. Upscale: Since, I've had the Corona furniture for a while now, it's time for a change and I recently discovered furniture upscaling blogs. This Corona furniture can be painted. So, this item was part assembled and then I got creative. I purchased new round drawer & door handles, Blum soft close concealed hinges and Rust oleum chalky furniture paint (Winter grey) & polish. And I varnished the top and shelf a warm oak. It makes for a spectacular transformation. Though I must admit the cost of the upscale materials exceeds the cost of the sideboard, but only just. (I had intentions of sharing photos of my upscale efforts but I think they've temporarily removed the button to attach photos - not enough people to review photos due to covid19)
