Oxford Painted
Larder Unit

This looks beautiful and has lots of wonderful space inside: just as advertised. But it is a VERY heavy item (and I went for the smaller larder!) and the two delivery boys really struggled to move it into place (not for want of space just due to its weight). Plus, it had an awful paint-fume smell that lasted for over a week that made me reluctant to store my food in it which slightly dampened my enthusiasm on receiving it. Now that it's in place and no longer smells, we are very pleased with the larder and can highly recommend it for storing all your groceries. Not cheap mind!

The design of this product is exactly what we wanted for our kitchen. As a previous reviewer has said, the interior does initially smell of a 'substance' but hopefully this will wear off. The only gripes I have with the unit are these. Our unit is sat on a flat stone floor. The doors do not exactly fit square when looking at them ie the left door sits slightly lower than the right. If you push on the top right hand side, the unit does flex and the doors meet correctly in the centre, in other words, despite its weight the unit is not 'completely' solid and unmoving in structure as you may expect. Also the top wooden part of the unit is an edging and not a fully flat piece of wood on top as you may be expecting. The magnetic catches on the doors are quite low quality and in fact one came loose and I have had to refit. Sounds like a bit of a moan. Possibly, but overall we love the unit and its design but cannot give it top marks due to the above.

The storage provided by this unit is amazing but the build quality is something else. One of the doors is squint and they have already started to stick, and hinges loose, I have only had it 2 weeks. Very disappointed as it is a great piece of furniture. Something needs to be done about the workmanship.
