I love my new bed
I love my new bed. The quality is amazing and the way it glides on its own to reveal the secret storage space is very magical. I’m a happy customer. If you’re not handy with your hands (or lack common sense like me) I recommend getting someone else to assemble it. Beautiful bed.

Poor assembly
I purchased from furniture village, where items are assembled for me, your staff were not keen. After a discussion they realise they had to assemble.
Now I realise from the instructions the 25kg glass top is not supposed to slide around, and could easily slide off onto me, none of the top to base screws have been used! They have not been left here either, its dangerous! Spoken to furniture village now, very unhappy with you company!
Then I suggest you get back to me by email as I already waited a week , 2 experiences 2 letdowns says slot, I phoned too, aftershaves are slllllooʻowww

From order to delivery
I was kept upto date with the possible delivery date. Then I was given a date and an hour's window to receive the goods which you can accept or decline. The order came between the hour stated and was brought in by friendly delivery people.

Don’t press the ‘purchase’ button
OMG not a clue where to begin other than this item should come with a BIG WARNING! Birlea Cream and Oak Highgate 3 Door Mirrored Effect Wardrobe
Took almost 5 hours to figure out assembly, every page states twice - no power tools - yet there are hundreds of screws! The ‘material’ (can’t say wood) is so thin in just splits, the instructions need a degree in *gobbledegook* to make any sense. Item looks awful, wonky, misaligned - urgh!
And I have literally made so many furniture items, this took me back to MFI in the 80s when a flatpack caused divorce proceedings.
Good luck to anyone chancing it!

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about your experience with the Birlea Highgate wardrobe.
We appreciate how frustrating a difficult assembly process can be, especially when you’ve had prior experience building flatpack furniture. We take comments like this seriously and will ensure your feedback around the instructions, fixings, and overall build experience is shared with our product and design teams for review.
Thank you again for your honest review.
Copenhagen Wooden TV Unit - Oak effect
Mine was delivered by FedEx via my order from MFI. The FedEx courier couldn't deliver mine into my living room (30.0 kg) for insurance purposes, so dragging in to my living room was a drag with my Hernia. The assembly instruction pamphlet wasn't up to spec either so I improvised to complete the assembly. MDF was the material my furnishings were made from as most these days are but for the price, it done the job. I have just seen this unit on your Birlea website named as 'Axel Fluted TV Unit'. I noted the pdf manual header was Chinese so assuming the furnishings too all come from that country.

The problem is the furniture is not that well made. I recieved a new replacement but I've seen ottomans made of solid wood at similar prices and wish I gone down that route. This bed is rickety and I doubt will last the 25 years my previous bed did
