Sadly the Rutland a painted Oak Chest of 6 drawers @ £404 to get to a room in my house was very disappointing.
The first delivery had to be returned as the furniture was utterly shattered. The box had clearly been dropped during its travels from the workshop in Viet Nam. The courier refused point blank to open the box or wait for me to do so. A replacement was received. It was obvious that this was a regular occurrence.
The design may look good from the photo online the material and method of construction are very basic and cheap.
Though the product description is suppose to be oak its definitely not the solid oak we are use to in the UK. The wood is too soft. The leaflet in the drawers says it’s natural wood , wood veneers and painted MDF. Oak is not stated. There is no certified document to state it’s oak. I suspect it’s local Vietnamese wood.
The drawer sliding action is rough being wood on wood… I.e. not sliding rollers. Should we therefore wax the wood sliders?
The strength of the bottom leg support is questionable. Haven’t seen this design for 30 years.
The top is not a solid oak top as seen. It’s laminated wood with cheap wood underneath.
The back hardboard is stapled.
My conclusion is it’s a cheap design and construction which is of poor value. Definitely not worth anyway near £404.
