SONGMICS Canvas Wardrobe Bedroom Furniture Cupboard Clothes Storage Organiser Gray 175 x 150 x 45 cm RYG12G, Gery

This is my third Songmics wardrobe/shoe holder I have bought and built. They are simple to put together as long as you line up your parts in order of size, so you don't grab the wrong bar, AND you read and follow instructions/images carefully. You must make sure you push each bar into the plastic connector firmly so it goes in to the very bottom. This ensures the wardrobe frame will be level and strong and that the cover will slot on at the end, with no problems. The material WILL rip if you pull too hard, but when the wardrobe is built and filled with clothing, the cover has a bit of 'give' in it so any bulky item of clothing won't cause it to burst at a seam. I have crammed a huge amount of clothes on the rails and they are still level - no bending or warping. The only issue I have, is the shelf above the hanging rail, is RIGHT on top of the rail, resting on it actually, so that means you have to lift it a little to get hangers on and off the rail. (I need to try and put in something to raise the shelf above the rail, about an inch or so, in order to add and remove hangers with ease.) There are gaps all over the 'shelves' because the material of the shelf does not reach the very edges of the poles. And the same with the 'floor' of the wardrobe - I am sure spiders will be able to crawl in, so I got a piece of thin wood, the exact size of the bottom of the wardrobe, and placed that in there like a floor. No spiders so far. My husband kindly attached the two zips at the centre of the wardrobe to a piece of wooden dowel (like a perch in a bird cage) and so I can pull up and down two zips with one 'handle' - it works perfectly! And I don't have to hold the bottom of the door beside the zip, in order to pull the zip up. Older wooden wardrobes we had left clothing a bit musty as the backing had gotten damp and mould on it that we could not see, but we sure could smell. These newer fabric wardrobes eliminate that problem perfectly as clothes in there have plenty of vented airflow around them. Son, aged 20, loves this wardrobe and loves the fact that the wardrobe can (in the near future) be taken apart and rebuilt in his new digs, whenever he moves out! The wardrobes look exactly like the images, except the cover is folded in shipping and so, one 'door' will have a deep crease down it which will prevent it from hanging down straight, but it will still zip up and down fine. It just looks ugly with the crease. I might try to steam clean the crease out but not sure how the material will handle heat! Daughter, aged 18 loves this wardrobe and the bright cream colour brightens the room too. I put an old wardrobe door on top of this wardrobe to act like a shelf and it's holding loads of folded blankets and a large container of camping accessories - no warping or structural problems after a few weeks - they are built to hold weight! When I build my built in wardrobe next year, I will use these wardrobes without the covers, as the internal parts. They are fab.

This is very good storage. Very good price. Well packaged. Very well labelled parts. Easy clear instructions. Surprisingly strong.I ordered 2. Loads storage. I am very impressed!!

Before buying this product, I had a look at the reviews, and my tendency (like perhaps most of you) is to check out the bad reviews first, which I did. Then I read the good ones and on balance, decided to give it a go anyway.Delivery: The product originates somewhere in mainland Europe and comes via Brussels, then Surrey before hitting Ireland, and I was able to track it all along. However, it did arrive well before the promised date.Packaging: It comes in a cuboidal cardboard box, roughly 3' X 2' X 10 cm thick, feels quite light and was easy to transport from where I received it to my home.Assembly: The parcel contains a sheet with clearly printed part identifiers and a pictographic illustration of which part goes where, however, there is no elaborate prose as such; but it is highly intuitive, sort of a fun project to do on a free evening, no more difficult than doing a simple 20 piece 2D-puzzle. I honestly can't understand those who are moaning about the lack of instructions, but honestly, you dont need any instructions to put this together in excess of what is provided. Just watch the image, then keep clicking that part and the correct joiner in place and build it up from scratch, it really is that simple! Using the very basic of common sense, even an 8th grader should be able to build it up.Quality: Top Class (relative to the money spent, of course!) I mean, it is just about 30 bucks, what do people mean when they say poor quality? Are they expecting a Rolls Royce at that price? The quality, relative to the price is actually so good that one starts to feel guilty that they are getting so much for that little. Now this is where I would like to suggest, if the manufacturer can make the same product with thicker gauge better pipes and more solid joiners (the canvas fabric quality is wonderful), I would happily pay an extra 20 pounds for it, still, at the current price, it did exceed my expectations.I am uploading a picture of the built unit, and just check out how much weight it is already holding on top. Since that, it has been filled with 5 heavy men's suits for a big and tall person, a heavy turkish house-coat/bathrobe, a good few heavy denim trousers and shirts, my entire collection of socks, underwear, spare towels, an extra memory foam pillow, pyjamas, T-shirts, empty plastic containers, a headphone, a hairdryer and still it is solid. I cant see how people can claim that it doesn't hold much weight. Exactly what were they trying to fill in it? Sacks of coal?And here is the best part, the manufacturer knows that people might break one or two joiners when assembling it the first time, so they actually pack a spare 2 joiners (one of each type). Even I snapped one, trying to build it, as the caanvas is very taut, hence, you have to really pull the pipes apart with a lot of force to join it, and this can cause one to break. Had the supplier/manufacturer not packed those extra 2 joiners, I would have really got stuck and perhaps even given it 2 stars, but this made all the difference!The assembled unit is very light weight, relative to its size and capacity.I was almost about to give it 5 stars, but stopped short, as I feel, they could have made the plastic joiners stronger, even if that meant charging more.

I bought this unit to replace old work out wardrobes that have seen better days.For the cost of this new unit. I know some people will be sceptical about its quality but took a gamble and bought this.Construction was quite easy as familiar with assembling furniture but skill level for assembling this is reasonably easy.Instructions were easy to read, and diagrams were detailed on how to start the assembly.Knowing me I made a few errors on assembly as already had an idea how to do this but got a little carried away. But managed to correct the error simply without any hassle so if you do make a mistake on what goes where, it is very simple to undo.With the shelves, as these are fabric, do not put extremely heavy items on these as obviously these will fail, but each shelf can take some weight. Assembling these were easy.But once the whole unit is assembled. It is very sturdy but would not advise kids using it as a climbing frame as it will not end well. But it is quite strong to store clothing and plenty of space to clothing items.With the empty shelves I am going to add some containers so can store other items and the space on each shelf can pretty much hold a storage of 40 cm deep by 30 cm wide and 30 cm high and probably have some room to ensure they fit.But in general, I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a cheap alternative storage option.
