Habitat Skandi 2 Door 4 Drawer Open Wardrobe - White

Good

Good design, but the drawers do not align and the push pull system is frustating, as it does not work (had to buy diffent handles somewhere else)

Great design if it worked

the manufacturing of this wardrobe is very poor, holes not drilled, holes out of alignment, the bag of screws not numbered or lettered to identify where in the instructions you use which ones but are bagged as though they should be, the numbering on the parts is written in pen and not easy to locate. I am very experienced in diy and flat pack furniture but this tested even my sanity, you absolutely cannot assemble without an electric screwdriver so if you don’t have one you need to borrow one, even with it the joints in my fingers ached for 3 days and I’m only 41, you cannot assemble this on your own, which annoys me as I’ve assembled lots of furniture that called for two people but this is a no, and if you don’t have an empty room to put this together you’re going to really struggle, because of its size I had planned to built it where it would stand but the steps the instructions take are not logical building ground up, and at one point require the whole thing to be on its front so you can put the bottom on, once assembled you then find the issues of the poorly drilled holes, the push to open drawers won’t work, the bottom small one especially as they won’t glide on the tracks as they’re slightly off, and the bottom large drawer will catch on the doors because the doors take constant readjustment of the hinges in order to get them to not be skew or with a gap, it took a hour of tweaking the hanging screw on the hinges to get them to even hang straight, why they can’t just send you aligned hinges that don’t need taking apart like everyone else I don’t know, and the doors are so heavy you’re going to need to keep tweaking the hanging screws on the hinges as they’re slightly off drop back down and stop the large drawer opening. The only drawer that the push to open would work on is the top small one, and I even purchased more heavy duty push to open mechanisms but they just can’t work against the unaligned frame. It’s a good buy for the amount of storage if it worked but I also got it for under £300 in a red day deal, I absolutely would not pay full price for it. Will be adding handles to everything so it functions better that grasping at the sides, oh and customer service were of no help, wanted a man to come to my home to see if it was my fault and I’d rather not get a partial refund on this mess than have flat pack diy mansplained to me, I know it’s poorly made, it’ll have to do for now and I’ll be replacing it with one from the meatball place that can be trusted!

Great Puzzle!

If you’re into really hard, physically exerting and time consuming puzzles, then this is for you! It’s so good we bought two!!

Misaligned doors ,marks and drawer issues

So disappointed! I paid to have this wardrobe build in my home and I'm very disappointed with the poor build quality

Very nice wardrobe

This is great quality and looks fabulous too. Good strong drawers, don’t need to worry that the bottom will fall out of them.. I’ve bought handles for mine as I don’t like those push open things..

Crappy Habitat Wardrobe unit

We assembled the main unit with very few issues, however after we hung the wardrobe doors they were a LONG way out of alignment. After a LOT of time and adjustments we got them so they could close but the alignment was not perfect. We then built the drawers and went to slide them in but all 3 drawers would not close as they were catching on the right hand wardrobe door. After a LOT of hassle readjusting the right hand door alignment we got the drawers to close. Then we found the wardrobe left hand door now would not close as it was overhanging the right hand door by about 5mm. No matter what we tried the door would not close properly. Finished up planing the left hand door. So not happy with the quality of this unit

Badly designed with misaligned doors and drawers

After several hours painstakingly following instructions, the wardrobe doors and drawers simply don’t align well. If the doors are level, the drawers won’t open and vice versa. The big drawer sticks out on one side. Very disappointing for my daughter’s new teenage room, it just looks cheap and doesn’t look like it will last long.

OK once built

The wardrobe is delivered in 4 boxes, which took 30 minutes to unpack, no idea which box had the instructions booklet which would have been handy to have to hand when unpacking. All the screws and such are in seperate bags but no identification of which bag is what and some bags contain the same as others but different quantities. If these were labelled to open bag G for this stage, that would be amazing...The wooden pieces are identified with a letter BUT it isn't obviously like a round sticker its printed on the edge, I didn't realise this until I was building the drawers near the end. It took me over 4 hours to build this wardrobe, probably nearer 5 and once it was together I realised the small wooden bits that the drawers push mechanism connects to were upside down (but I built them with the round hole that houses the tighenting bit facing down... so now my bottom draw has two push things and my top has none. Speaking of the drawers, two of them are quite tight to move so I guess thats either the predrilled holes or my building skills not quite right, but dissapointing. I am going to try and put another clothes rail into the wardrobe too. Once built, its sturdy and seems quality enough...just the whole building was far harder than other flat pack items (including big wardrobes) I have done. I gave it 3 stars because if you got a professional to build it or you are very competent in DIY then I think you'd be really pleased. The drawers sticking and difficulty building it knocked off two stars for me...
