Hodedah Import Kitchen Island in elegant Black-Beech, Effortlessly Stylish, ‎Valuable Counter Space, 39.37 x 114.05 x 89.41 cm Dimension; 453.59 Grams

Love this kitchen island

I purchased this cabinet because it seemed to be in a very similar style to the rest of my fitted kitchen. I read the reviews before I made the purchase and it seemed the instructions were giving the most problems. However, I bought it and it arrived. The packaging was pretty bashed but nothing was actually damaged. It was clear that it was of very poor quality, even by chipboard furniture standards. I glued, pinned and clamped everything as I went along, and I replaced the worktop with a solid wood one that fitted with my kitchen better. Very little contact with the grey surface caused it to rub off. Even using a spirit level and set square, the doors will not hang straight. I don't think this piece of furniture will last very long.

Fair value for money, not the best quality I have ever bought but certainly not the worst , easy enough to put together, instructions fair to understand , using for caravan awning ,for kitchen area, quite heavy and rigid for money , having a lot of experience being a carpenter ,I probably have more knowledge than most ,but happy with quality based on price or budget I bought 3

Arrived fast decent quality assembly was not to bad price was spot good size was just right,looks good sturdy overhaul would recommend this item

Love ut

There are no holes to connect the different pieces together, instructions are bad and took forever to assemble.

Top table chipped in 3places had to buy a new work top only 1 door and no screws to fix the doors so had to mana factory the doors cost an extra £200

What a load of rubbish. Supposed to take 70mins took 2 days. Nothing lined up.

For the price this is a great buy! My boyfriend and I built this in about an hour and a half. (And by that, I mean mainly my boyfriend.) just put on some music and you’ll be done in no time. We used a drill to put this together as well, which I would highly recommend. We didn’t run into any issues with the wood splitting. The instructions were fairly easy to follow, though I have a few recommendations that will make putting this together a lot easier: 1. Take out all the pieces and lay them out in an organized fashion on the floor. (You don’t have to do this but it just makes it easier to grab what you need during each step) 2. You will notice that the directions tell you to put screws in the middle of the rails in step 2, but there isn’t a hole for it. Don’t worry, the instructions are very generic, so you really do not need this third screw unless you absolutely want to and planning on loading the draws with a pile of bricks. (You will understand when you have the instructions in-hand but I will add photos) 3. Follow steps 3-5 exactly. The rails are also marked with an “DL” or “DR” 4. If you want to add the two pieces on the side. DO NOT add them after Step 5. The instructions have these two pieces as steps 6, 7 and 8 but if you build it in that order step 9 will be a living hell to get on. (Not impossible, just tricky) SO, complete step 9 first by adding the middle bar, and then go back and do steps 6-8. (We took our two pieces off, to better fit or kitchen and the look we were going for) 5. Follow steps 10 and 11 exactly. 6. In step 12 you will be putting on the wheels. Note that the instructions say to use 16 of the K screws. Don’t do that, as you’ll need the other K screws for step 15. Do not let this confuse you. Simply use the small package of screws that are inside of the bag of wheels. 7. In steps 13, you really don’t need that many nails. I would just do 4-5 on each side and move on to step 14. 8. The doors. The instructions want you to attach all four of the tan “hinges” at once and then connect the doors to the cart. Yeah, don’t do that. Drill/screw in one hinge to the top of one door. Place the door in the cart by sticking the peg inside of the hole in the corner. Then take the second tan hinge and add it to the bottom peg hole without attaching it to the door yet. Once this is done, slightly open the door panel, align the bottom part of the door with the bottom hinge, and slide it in so that the holes for the screws match up. Then drill/screw in those two screws. (This will make since when you are actually building it and are at this step) Do the same for the other door. 9. Two of the wheels have locks on them. You can unlock them by flipping the notch located on the side of the actual wheel. Then you can freely move the cart around or lock it in place. Then you’re done!!!! I really wish someone would’ve gone through and made a post like this, instead of saying the directions/instructions are hard to follow. They are not, we were able to figure these tips and tricks after trial and error, so I’m hoping this post will help save you some time. :) The only thing I’m not fond of is the gap in between the doors. This is definitely on the manufacturer as I am sure so people’s doors were the perfect length for the kitchen cart. I’ll probably put a small white card board backing on the back of one of the doors so that this gap is less noticeable. Overall I absolutely love the cart and would highly recommend it. It’s the perfect counter height, and easy to paint or add a marble vinyl to the top to customize it to your kitchen. (Or wherever your putting it). Like I mentioned earlier, please use a drill if you have one, it’ll save you time, hassle and you straining your hands to turn a screwdriver. Also put on some music, it will take you at the least 45- 50 minutes. If it takes you longer, it’s okay, it’s not the end of the world. ;)

I almost did not buy due to all the negative reviews but I am glad I did. I found it easy to assemble and the directions were very clear. I did not run into any issues with things not lining up. All the pieces were in good condition. I ordered the black + beach and the black is not actually black. It’s more of a dark espresso which was a bit of a bummer but it still looks great. It isn’t the best quality product but you get what you pay for. Overall I am very happy with the purchase and it’s exactly what my kitchen needed!

Once built the island looks nice and spacious on the inside. But its a pain to build. Even the instructions state to nail in the back board before putting in the doors, do the opposite. Otherwise its so hard to align everything.

Material Pésimo y de baja calidad. Un verdadero fiasco.

I like the little unit, use it for a pressing station in my sewing room. Love the l'il shelve thingies on the sides, roomy drawer nice big space inside for storage. It was pretty easy to put together, I have just one issue with it: they didn't pre-drill the holes for the cabinet doors, you have to do it yourself and they are difficult to place, and unless you are a skilled carpenter, you WILL get the doors mis-aligned. It's very puzzling why they neglected this small detail -- the rest of it was very easy and straighforward to assemble! and then the very last step you ruin the whole thing by not perfectly aligning the door hinges. They could have VERY EASILY just predrilled the whole! Really puzzling. Oh by the way, it is mostly particle board, the top is particleboard with a cheapo-looking veneer. It doesn't bother me because I have a pressing surface over it. but for this price, don't expect an heirloom quality unit. But that aside, it's very handy, great price, except for the one thing, easy to put together, and a great little storage unit!
