Mercers Furniture Corona 6 Drawer Wide Chest Sideboard

This piece of Furniture is amazing bought for the bedroom as needed lots more space. I am glad I choose this chest of drawers good quality and the company was really helpful as one of the drawers was damaged so got in touch through Amazon they replaced it three days after our chat on Amazon. also the Chest was delivered very quick in a matter of days. Looks so nice and we are very pleased with the price and everything else. Thanks

The finished product is exactly like the picture! All parts were present & correct & well labelled. I found the instructions very clear to follow. The draws are a little on the small side but they open & close smoothly! Only downside is it took me 6 hrs to build. I would suggest defiantly have 2 people to build this. I am happy with the result though.

Not as easy to make as previous items, but a very nice and solid piece of furniture.

Really impressed with this furniture. It arrived in good time and well packaged in flat pack. Buyers should probably be warned that this packaging is heavy, it’s possible to handle it with one strong person but certainly not easy as it’s very heavy and the packaging is quite large. I had it delivered to work where I struggled getting it into my car. This was complicated further as I do not have rear seats that collapse or fold down and only just managed to wedge the box in the rear seats. Being quite large I assembled the furniture downstairs as it requires a lot of space to work out and gather the contents while having enough room to build the unit without hindering yourself avoiding frustration. The assembly instruction were simple to follow which I found a breath of fresh air. The unit was assembled within two hours whereby I recommend the following tools: Electric screwdriver; this is essential as there is A LOT of screws. Without one I think you will find, apart from wrist ache, that assembly time will double. Quickclamp; if you need to assemble this alone then you will need a clamp to aid and hold pieces one end of the furniture while you fix the opposite side. If you have the luxury of another pair of hands then this is all you need. Once assembled you will need at least one other person to move the furniture into place unless it’s put together in the room it will be housed. The furniture itself looks stunning and matches really well with two smaller bedside Corona cupboards I purchased six months previously.

When this arrived in ONE mammoth box that weighed a ton I thought *s$%t* there is no way I can put this together or even move the box.. Then when I emptied the box there was so many parts I almost cried! Thankfully though once you open up the little "instruction manual" things get a little clearer and it only took me 15 minutes to put ti together enough so it resembled at least the frame of the drawers. I actually quite enjoyed putting these together (and I hate flat packing). They are amazingly sturdy and the bottom drawers in particular are really quite big. They are slightly bigger than what I thought they would be so check the dimensions before ordering and measure your space. I will say though that you will probably need to help the delivery man inside with these- I live up a small set of stairs and he said "there is no way I can get these up there, is there anybody else in the house?" (presumably meaning a man) but I'm thankfully quite strong so was able to help him up the stairs. So if you are ordering for an elderly relative or you are elderly yourself make sure to have somebody else in the house to help the man get it to your door. I have no idea why the company would send ONE person out with boxes that weigh that much.

I was very disappointed when I received this chest. On the positive side, the material is good: the pine is solid and of decent quality - that's not the issue. The real issue is the way in which the wood is cut and the finish. First, the outer parts of the chest are not equally (or well) sanded down; it has a rough, unfinished look. Second, the finish was patchy, in that parts of it were varnished and other patches/parts looked like they weren't. Finally, it comes flat-packed so one needs to put the parts together. This was very difficult and took a very long time. I've put together flat-packed furniture before, and this was by far the most complicated. When I was done, the drawers couldn't open properly (they'd get stuck!). To this day, over a year and a half later, they still get stuck and I have a hard time opening them. Maybe a carpenter would've been able to put the pieces together better, or saw / sand / cut the pieces of wood to size to avoid this, but for an ordinary person like, it was impossible to do any better. Unfortunately we couldn't return this product because to do so would've required taking it apart and packing it flat again (like it was when it arrived) so that the courier company would accept to return it. But given what a pain it was putting it together, we thought it would be equally complicated to take it apart. That, and the fact that we were expecting a baby any day and urgently needed a chest, made us keep it in the end. I know the product looks fabulous in the pictures, but unless you have considerable DIY / carpentry skills so as to cut and sand the pieces of wood to size, and are willing to re-sand and re-varnish it, I wouldn't recommend it to you.

A little difficult to put together but 100% worth it, it looks amazing

Most of our furniture is Mercer’s. All flat packed very easy to assemble. Very sturdy once built. Purchased as a lingerie draw set for my wife. Important to keep her smalls organised. Would highly recommend
