"Hampshire Ivory Painted Oak Display Cabinet"
Nothing much wrong with the furniture except it's cheaply made and flimsy. The company push the "rustic oak" image - the only oak is the top trim - the rest of it is painted MDF and hardboard. The shelves look thick, but that is just the front edge trim - the shelves themselves are made of hardboard and I am sure they won't take any sort of weight.
One of the shelves is cracked underneath, and the whole thing feels flimsy.
So I suppose the description of "display cabinet" is accurate - it's really only for displaying nick-nacks, not for any serious storage or crockery or books.
Still, it looks nice.
So in summary it's a triumph of form (and flowery descriptions) over function. "Chiltern Oak Furniture" is neither based in the Chilterns (an office in Peterborough), nor made of oak. Inspired or sharp marketing, take your pick.
I didn't enjoy paying nearly £500 for flatpack quality furniture, even if it was ready assembled. I can't see me making any more purchases.
