Sideboard Elmteo 101

Not a particularly good assembly guide. The hinges for the 4 doors are of 2 different types and if you have unpacked them, it is almost impossible to tell the difference. I got so frustrated during the process that I had to stop assembling it several times, so it ended up taking over 1 month to assemble the sideboard completely. Along the way I had to sand the hinges because they fit so poorly that the doors overlapped each other. Also, the picture is a bit misleading. The gold/brass details on the doors are just painted on and are not real metal. So you could easily imagine that it could wear off quickly. Very disappointing - you feel a bit cheated. Despite many frustrations, you managed to assemble the sideboard, but you are not impressed at all afterwards. The sideboard looks very cheap and does not look like something that costs around 4000 kr. The doors are also not adjustable properly and the 2 middle doors have a much greater distance than the others - this is clearly visible from the front, which is where you typically look. Is there nothing good to say at all? Well, the legs are okay, but nothing to shout hooray for... Absolutely not recommended!

Ikke specielt god samlevejledning. Hængslerne til de 4 lågerne er 2 forskellige slags og hvis du har pakket dem op, er det næsten umuligt at se forskel. Jeg blev så frustreret i forløbet at jeg måtte gå fra at samle det flere gange, så det endte med at tage over 1 måned at samle skænken helt. Undervejs måtte jeg slibe på hængslerne fordi de passede så dårligt at lågerne overlappede hinanden. Desuden snyder billedet lidt. Guld/Messing detaljerne på lågerne er bare malet på og er ikke ægte metal. Så man kunne nemt forestille at det hurtigt kunne blive slidt af. Meget skuffende - man føler sig lidt snydt. Det lykkedes trods mange frustrationer at samle skænken, men man er slet ikke imponeret bagefter. Skænken ser meget billig ud og ligner slet ikke noget der koster omkring 4000 kr. Lågerne er heller ikke til at justere ordentligt og de 2 midterste låger har meget større afstand end de andre - det ses tydeligt forfra, som jo er der man typisk kigger. Er der slet ikke noget godt at sige? Tjoh, benene er okay, men ikke noget at råbe hurra for... Kan absolut ikke anbefales!
