Habitat Brooklyn 4 Drawer Chest- Grey

Great looking set

I have only just brought this but I am so pleased with it I find it is very well made and strong I also brought the bed side table too

Ok furnture but assemble a long exercise.

Decent piece of furniture but huge exercise to self- assemble: 30+ individual elements and almost 200 pieces of hardware to put the thing together. Several hours needed.

Habitat? Are you sure about that?

Having been a long time Habitat customer (since the late 70s) and having bought a fabulous bookcase a year ago, I was hopeful of this chest arriving as a completed item (some hope) or at least as a well thought out flat-pack. Disappointingly what arrived was below expectations. Whereas the previous chest purchased just weeks before was fine to assemble, well almost, and at least all of the components were in separate bags, with a spare bag of parts which I thought was a nice touch, by contrast this model arrived with everything in one large bag which added a good 90 mins of sorting time to find and isolate all of the varying components, not helped by there being screws of identical length but different type. Eventually, once i'd confirmed that it matched the list in the instructions, assembly was then hampered by some very inaccurate holes having been pre-drilled, sometimes 1.5-2mm out of alignment! The legs had no pilot holes and required strong clamps and very precise alignment to ensure the chest remained true and not prone to wobbling. As if to add to the situation, some of the instruction images pointed at the incorrect holes, and seemed obsessed with telling us not to put two screws in the same hole, which is impossible to do! With some careful adjustment, especially to the sliders the item was completed and appears to be a usable item although it has made me wary of assembling the taller 4 drawer chest in green that was purchased at the same time. In my overall opinion, this item was well short of the standard of Habitat items that i've purchased over the years, and makes me unsure about ordering anything further that is sold under the Habitat brand, but is clearly Argos quality! So sad to see the decline!

Very poor chest of draws!

Do not buy it! Hard to put together Very fragile,even now when it's built it,still fragile All the screws are in one bag so you're guessing on the size's. On top that expensive for something you can't build.

Nice drawers - good size, lots of storage

Nice set of drawers, good size and quality - had to mess about with the top drawers on putting them together to get them to sit straight and run well but other than that all good.

Sturdy draws

Lovely draws, I purchased handles separately to give a little character.

Lovely unit

Lovey unit and such good value for money. It did take an age to put together and the unit top needs a little sand and a varnish as it’s a tiny bit rough, but we’ll worth the money
