Habitat Nomad Ladder Shelf - Oak Effect

Awful build

Sturdy shelves but holes to not align and the screws are too big for the hole. Was very difficult to build.

Just the job

Bought this ladder bookcase to replace one that wasn't modern looking , and this looks so much better, it is strong and sturdy and holds a lot of books Very pleased with it.

Great shelving, difficult assembly

Firstly, delivery service was dire, it taking three attempts. The first time they said my road was too narrow for their truck (it isn’t), second time they blamed, severe weather (it was a bright, calm day). Fortunately it was third time lucky, but two weeks late. Customer service gave me a £25 Argos voucher and refunded delivery charge, so it is worth complying (politely). The unit itself is great, but as other reviewers point out, assembly is very frustrating as the pre-drilled holes aren’t aligned correctly. Presumably someone in the factory messed up the entire batch and they’ve just shipped them out regardless. Again, it’s worth complaining to Argos as having read through reviews compensation has been paid out.

Problems

The holes for the screws did not line up with the frame. There where insufficient screws for the shelving. I had 3 less than needed

Patience required

Looks good with plenty of storage but instructions were not clear and screw holes not aligned correctly so not as easy to put together as it should be

Very Good Value, Let Down By A Small Design Flaw

I ordered two of these shelving units and am very impressed at how good the quality of them really is. I thought they would be the usual over priced and cheaply made flat pack rubbish that you can find in any Home Bargains store. But they are really sturdy, the wooden shelves are very high quality and they are really easy to assemble. Unfortunately, the only negative, as many of the reviews have already mentioned, is that the holes for the shelves are not aligned, but it was relatively easy to correct that with a drill and some elbow grease. I would happily have given 5 stars, but they lose a star for that as they really should have only taken 15 mins to assemble but the hassle of the screw holes doubled the time. But overall a very good product that I would highly recommend.

Poor quality

Pieces didnt fit together well and the holes for screws were too small and did not line up correctly. Very disappointed
