Appleby Oak 3 Door Glazed Sideboard

End product goodYou used AO to deliver product. Item was unwrapped on the van. When this was being unloaded item tipped doors started to swing back and forth van operators tried to slam them shut.The entrance to the property is through two in-line doors, then straight in the room.The width of the unit is a lot smaller than the entrance, so it should have gone straight in.But because of poor handling it it was picked up incorrectly. So how it was brought in it was tipped back the doors swung out again and hit the inner front door. Putting slight marks on the side board, these I managed to rub off. The side board is fitted on a level surface. But the bottom catches would not locate. The brackets on two of the doors were bent down, problemwas more than likely happened when being moved from the van and the doors were swinging. Re-bent in too position. The third door, roller catch would not even line up had to remove it and relocate in a slightly different position.Two of the door knobs fitted straight away the third the metal insert started to come out when the screw was being put in. Found the hole in the wooden knob wasnt deep enough so when the screw was put in, it started to force the metal insert out.Re drilled the knob out reassembled every thing now ok.Most of this could be avoided if the doors were strapped shut, and more care when bringing in to a property.Something to think about, if this product was bought by someone without any ability they would be disappointed

Finally arrived yesterday. Living in the Channel Islands I had to arrange to have it shipped myself. The instructions were that it should be labelled with my forwarding address. This did not happen so the shipping company didn't know who it belonged to/where it was being shipped. Once I realised something was amiss, Cotswold worked well with me and their couriers to provide proof of delivery and we located my sideboard.My main concern was that in using a second courier if there was any problem with damage etc. I would not be covered or would have trouble in returning the item due to the extra shipping. However the sideboard came undamaged and I was impressed with the level of packaging.The sideboard looks bigger than anticipated, despite making careful measurements, but this sort of thing is always hard to judge. The unit is very heavy! All this said I am pleased with my purchase.

This really is a lovely display cabinet. It looks more expensive than it was and I've seen similar pieces of furniture for more. The overall affect is quite timeless although I suppose it looks like a contemporary take on a collector's cabinet. The bevelled glass is particularly pretty when the light shines on it. I am so glad I bought this instead of a bookcase. I have put some books in it along with some of my favourite things; it really suits carvings, shells, botanical and unusual things I've picked up over the years. I am really pleased with it. I have dropped a star on build quality because although it seems to be well built and sturdy there is a slight difference in the door handle heights and there are very small gaps in a couple of places where the wood joins. However, it is a lovely light oak piece of furniture and has transformed an old and darkish living room.

We are very pleased with this display cabinet. Very good quality. It was also very well wrapped for transport, so much so the delivery guys could not get it in to the sitting room, we knew it would be a tight squeeze. We were glad that we had not paid the very reasonable charge to have the packaging taken away. We now have some very nice quality hard board for a few DIY projects and the polystyrene pre-formers to protect the sides ended up being stuck to the outdoor step risers, so not to damage the cabinet as it got bumped up the outdoor steps, it would not go through the house! But after taking the doors off to lesson the weight and bribing a couple of strong friends with a case of beer each, we got it in. Would you believe without a scratch. The few heirlooms from my Mum are now pride of place, not valuable, but full of childhood memories. Lovely piece of furniture.

This item arrived very well packed by a two man delivery team, on unpacking a few days later I was pleasantly surprised that there was no damage found. The bevelled glass panels however were a different matter, the glass had smears of what appeared to be a clear mastic and were quite dirty. Some of the beads holding the glass had their pins protruding above the surface catching the cleaning cloth and fingers and worst of all every panel had scratches. So not really happy that the item was not up to expectations.

I am absolutely delighted with this sideboard. The style, quality of material & style are exactly what I have been searching for for ages to enhance a specific space in my home. Additionally the service provided was excellent & delivery service first class. I was kept informed of the status of my delivery & It was delivered spot on to time. The Delivery men were courteous, careful & most helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to order again from Cotswold.

Disappointed with the poor internal finish. It was poor to the point of being dangerous. Needed to be exchanged. Second version was as good as I had expected the first one to be and looks great in my lounge but I wont buy again from Cotswold because this is the second item I have received with a poor internal finish. More attention to detail required before the furniture is ready to send to customers

Few bits that are not quite right. There is a screw visible on the inside coming through from the bottom, and the base is cracked slightly underneath. But even imperfect its much better made than others I have seen and it looks beautiful filled with glasses. Excellent delivery even through the snow!

We fitted this under our kitchen island unit and it matches a unit of 6 drawers which we had purchased a few years ago.It has a great capacity and is used to store large cookery books and other large tomes.It is well made and is pleasing on the eye as well as being very practical.

I am very pleased with my 2 glazed sideboards even if I had to wait 4 months for them to be made.Unfortunately one cupboard is lighter then the other and as I ordered 2 I thought I would have got 2 in similar coloured wood, but I know wood comes in a lot of different shades.

As we have come to expect from Cotswold, the quality of this furniture was very good. It fits perfectly with other furniture we have ordered and the delivery assistants were very helpful and professional. This is a nice display cabinet with a good finish.

Again this product was exactly what we needed and complemented the other glass door display sideboard beautifulbeautifully. The item were delivered on time and the delivery personal were friendly and helpful. I would strongly recommend this Company

Very pleased with the look and quality off the wood. Unfortunately two doors on the right are not closing properly.. Is there any way that you can do something about it? I like the sideboard and can not face the hustle in returning it.Snjezana

Really pleased with the addition to our kichen dining area. The quality is aleays a concern when buyibg on line but have to say that everything we have brought has been top notch including this piece

So pleased with this purchase, it looks lovely but is also able to store loads of stuff! Its a really solid, well made cabinet. Just need to make sure I keep all that glazing clean!

Everything about this cabinet from ordering to delivery was excellent. I would give 5 stars for build and value for money. Unfortunately the app will not allow me to highlight them

A fine cabinet, that is exactly what I want to put my crystal ware and china in. The craftsman ship and detail are well executed. Very much 'you get what you pay for'.

Lovely looking product and very spacious. A bit disappointed that one of the doors sticks so its tricky to close but my husband sanded it down and its better now.

This is a really good well made piece of furniture, looks really good. A bit pricey but guess because of bevelled glass. Very Happy. Delivery men very good too.

We are very pleased with the glazed sideboard , a very useful piece as it is shallow in depth, but with three good cupboards. Looks great in our cottage .

This item looks fantastic in my living room. It forms the focal point as we have no fireplace and I have filled it with my favourite things.

The unit is well made and finished to a high standard , unfortunately it was too big for our living room so we returned it .

Very attractive and well made. Arrived safely and the delivery men were very good. Very satisfied customer.
