Beautiful piece of furniture. Initially looked online for matching sideboard to my TV corner unit and cabinet, which is no longer available. Looked at other self assembly sideboards which were limited and over priced for what they were, so started looking at already assembled furniture. Decided to try and get a sideboard that matched the Indian wood coffee table and side table in my lounge. Had seen the exact same sideboard at a much cheaper price in the sale with another retailer, £378 down from £489 with free delivery. The only reason I did not buy this was that there were no reviews, plus when I clicked on the GeoTrust logo at the bottom of the page it said "website identity NOT confirmed", though the company appear to be still trading. Decided it was too risky. I then searched for the same sideboard and came across Trade Furniture which had excellent reviews. I ordered Tuesday afternoon and received an email within an hour or so with next day delivery! Initially I panicked and declined as was not expecting delivery the next day, but having thought about it I send a message and Natali sent me a further email confirming that she had reinstated the original delivery date. The chap arrived the next day well within the timeslot, was helpful and friendly and left the boxed sideboard in the lounge. He said that the part of the box facing me was the underneath part. I managed to slide the sideboard out of the box with ease, however, it was a bit of a struggle to get the sideboard on its feet and took some time and manoovering. I simply was not prepared to pay extra for this and feel it should have been included (or offered) in the delivery price The sideboard has the wow factor, is well made, solid, sturdy and finished with a lacquer that has a wonderful aroma. The 3 drawers are quite roomy and there is a catch right at the back of each drawer that stops the drawers from falling out. By simply aligning the catch the drawers can be pulled out completely. The cupboards have a fixed shelf and are also quite spacious. I cannot stop admiring the sideboard, it is very smart and eye catching. The colouring is not an exact match to my Indian tables, but blends in. The left hand side cupboard opens out to the left so is easier to access than if it had been on the same side as the other 2 cupboards. I can highly recommend Trade Furniture, fantastic products, customer service and speedy delivery. My only gripe is the delivery charge of £29.95 which I feel is too expensive - perhaps this should include unpacking and moving into place.
