Stunning design and quality, but be prepared for long lead times
I purchased the BROK+ Sideboard in the Natura finish and later ordered the matching BROK Nightstand. Overall, I am very happy with both pieces and would recommend Pastform Furniture to anyone looking for beautiful, mid-century-inspired furniture made from real wood veneer.
The design is stunning, the craftsmanship is generally of a very high standard, and the Natura finish works perfectly with my oak parquet flooring. I particularly like the push-to-open mechanism on all fronts, which gives the furniture a very clean and elegant appearance.
Where Pastform truly impressed me was their willingness to resolve issues. One of the original sideboard fronts had a noticeable defect. Rather than replacing only the affected door, they offered to replace all four fronts to ensure a consistent appearance. This was a very generous solution and greatly appreciated.
I was also impressed when I raised concerns about the metal shelf support pins potentially damaging the wooden shelves under load. Pastform supplied upgraded support pins with a protective rubber/plastic coating.
That said, there are several areas where I believe there is room for improvement.
The biggest challenge is lead times, logistics, and communication. Delivery times are very long, and while customer service was always helpful and solution-oriented, I often had to follow up several times before receiving a response.
My original sideboard shipment experienced delays because the first logistics provider never collected it from the warehouse. After I raised the issue, Pastform changed the delivery provider and the shipment proceeded without further problems. In contrast, the nightstand order was prioritised and delivered within approximately two weeks together with the replacement fronts and upgraded support pins.
There are also a few design details that I find disappointing at this price point:
* The rear panels of both the sideboard and the nightstand are made from a basic chipboard panel rather than matching oak veneer. This means the furniture looks fantastic against a wall but cannot realistically be positioned freely within a room.
* There are no cable management cut-outs in the rear panels. This would be particularly useful for charging devices inside the nightstand or connecting electronics inside the sideboard.
* The shelves are not individually protected during transport. In my case, the internal shelf of the nightstand arrived damaged. Although I eventually received a replacement shelf, this took almost two months and several follow-ups.
The furniture itself was packaged extremely well and arrived without structural damage. However, because the shelves were loose inside the furniture, I would strongly recommend wrapping them individually to prevent transport damage.
The delivery team carried the furniture to the designated location. Unfortunately, they refused to take away the packaging material afterwards, although they did help carry it to the waste area.
Overall, despite some frustrations with lead times, logistics, communication delays, and a few design details, I genuinely like the furniture and appreciate that Pastform stood behind its products and worked with me to resolve every issue. The design, finish, and overall aesthetic are excellent, which is why I would still rate my experience 3 out of 5 stars.
