Review on ๐Ÿ—„๏ธ Graphite TECHNI MOBILI Rolling Storage Cabinet Featuring a Frosted Glass Top by Peter Hodzic

Revainrating 4 out of 5

My 4 star rating refers to the entire product. Assembly is a nightmare.

Assembling shouldn't fool the heart. Firstly, and the reason for my 4 star rating, I was impressed with the quality. The build materials are higher than I would have expected from flat furniture in this price range. After assembling, it feels solid and the glass top feels heavy. "After constructionโ€ are the keywords in the last sentence. Putting this thing together was a nightmare and the next day my hands and fingers hurt typing this. It takes very strong hands to put this together (insanely strong if you use the little screwdriver provided). ). Driving every single screw into this material is no easy task. I recommend gloves and a large screwdriver. I just broke the important rule of prefab furniture and got out my drill. My 18 volt drill still wasn't strong enough to drive the screws all the way in, so I still had to put in considerable effort to drive each screw through. I could probably get my hands on a socket wrench, but I've overtightened hardboard furniture in the past and I've learned my lesson. I have never felt so physically injured the next day by this type of construction. To attach the final handle to the drawer I also had to cut a hole as they were too close together. Luckily, assembly uses a single type of screw with a built-in washer. However, that was actually the only issue with the quality of the product. Instructions were clear, parts came with tags and plenty of spares. Advantages: Robust construction. Good materials (compared to other ready-made furniture). Looks nice. The instructions are easy to follow. Attachment for impact wrench. (Be careful!)
