Weak and Flimsy Garden Shed – I wanted to say something other than "Flimsy Rubbish" because that doesnt describe how weak and toy-like this shed is. There is no structure, the… Read more

steel sheets are paper thin, the base frame is a total joke of joined metal so weak I had to fasten it every 400mm to the concrete to have any hope of getting it square. The roof sheets have a join in the middle with a 10mm overlap so with the very minor roof slope rain water just pours inside. There is also no worthwhile roof overhang so rain water runs down the inside of the wobbly pathetic doors and into the shed. The magnetic door catches and plastic latch are so poor and weak that words can't describe them. Anyway the doors don't even fit or line up properly and have to be jammed into the opening by lifting the sagging roof. I have had to reinforce the roof, fit extra roof sheeting under the joint, beef up the doors, fit a bar across the doors to stop the wind blowing them open and away. Note that you cant even drill new holes in the sheeting as the supplied structure just too weak and bends with the push of the drill - I had to place a timber prop under every new drill hole to support the shed while I drilled to reinforce it. Its taken days of extra work to just get it water resistant. Please dont buy one - I reckon you will be very unhappy if you do.

It Kind of Does the Job – I have used this product about six times and slowly of the opinion that it is not as useless as I first thought. Assembly took about an hour using… Read more

the diagram only manual. Once out on the lawn and once I had the height adjusted to what I think is the right setting for my buffalo lawn i find it picks up the smaller leaves fairly well but was spitting out just as many leaves to the front of the sweeper. I stuck some gorilla tape along the bottom and that has mostly corrected that product fault. Large leaves seem to fly higher and 50% miss the catcher or flick away. The Sweeper has no rear wheels just gliders. I find those gliders have to be on the grass for the product to be efficient. If I lift the gliders off the ground to sweep through longer grass it seems to miss picking up the leaves. I will continue to fiddle with the height adjustment.

CONCLUSION: Suitable for short grass (newly mown) lawns. The products efficiency is reduced as the lawn grows between mows. Requires to run over the leaves two maybe three times and only then has it swept up about 75% of the leaves. Catcher is super easy to lift off and empty.

FINAL WORDS: Sweeper is light and easy to use. It is easier than raking up and picking up leaves and less back breaking. It is cheap and may only last a few years. I am not sure I would recommend it to family and friends but for me it kind of works OK.

Very disappointed! – As you can see from the pic, it's a huge climb (adult), 65cm, to the sleigh swing seat and quite a climb up on the cradle swing, again 65cm. … Read more

However, this would not have been a problem if the instruction book had stated at the very 'begining' of the set-up, that the frame needs to be sunk/cemented into the ground first. The cradle swing is totally out of proportion. Two children cannot sit on it at the same time...no room for 2 sets of legs, 23cm/9"!!! The rope swing is perfect for up to a 5 years old, but definetly not suitable for up to a 10 years old. And it's not about the price tag, $411 (delivered), it's just hasn't been engineered very well.

needs to be assembled

The thing is rubbish Cheap and nasty It is flimsy unstable and very poorly manufactured there were parts missing and the item is already showing rust on chrome parts after less than a week Not value for money You get what you pay for certainly but for what I paid i would expect better quality

My item was BNIB not second hand

Good basic drafting or artist desk – On the plus side.. it is affordable. It has a place for nearly everything like pens, brushes, scissors, erasers, etc.. It is basic but good for a… Read more

beginner or student. Works well, table tilts good and side table slides out well. Surprisingly heavy table! The little stool was a bonus. Super fast delivery! The negative sides.. the mesh cup does not like standing upright when things are in it, it can become unbalanced easily and some larger items can fall out. The drawers are flimsy material and to have wooden board bottoms would had been a better idea. So the drawers are only good for holding lighter stuff. Instructions could had been much clearer, and putting it together was a little tricky, but I managed to do it alone and took only around a hour. The little stool can be uncomfortable so I wouldn’t recommend anyone with back problems to use the stool. Still over all for the price I am fairly happy with it.

Low Quality Set for Only Light Duty Use – The set arrived in nondescript generic packaging (which was damaged- see my review for the business). Weights, bars and locking collars don't carry… Read more

any brand name. Weights: The weights are basically hollow plastic disks that have been filled with something like crusher dust. The volume/weight ratio is much larger than with cast-iron disks; the disks are rather big for their weight. This has the potential to be a problem with certain exercises. The size of the holes is non-standard, somewhere between 27-28 mm. The plastic will scratch easily, and you cannot drop the disks, as they will crack or break. Bars: 25 mm diameter, both dumbbell and barbell bars. The bars have not been made from solid metal (hollow) and do not carry significant weight on their own (dumbbell bars around 500 g each/ barbell bar 2 kg). I would not feel comfortable putting more than 30 kg on that barbell bar. The grip width is somewhat narrow for the barbell bar which limits its usefulness, but this could potentially be circumvented by using another set of spring collars. Lifting heavier weights might become uncomfortable due to the small diameter of the bar. Locks: The spring locks for the barbell bar were the wrong size (too large), therefore I cannot comment on their functionality. The spin lock collars for the dumbbells were made from cheap plastic without a rubber ring. This means you can't fasten the weights properly. If you fasten too tightly they might break, and if you don't, they have to be re-tightened frequently. In summary: Maybe ok for light and occasional use, but definitely not the right choice for someone who wants to work out seriously.

don't buy these- too cheaply made – I bought 2 of these. They look very nice on the net (it was lockdown so I couldn't go to the shops) but look a bit cheaper in real life. They were… Read more

really hard to put together and there were a few faults and missing parts which VidaXL were quite prompt in rectifying. The cushions are thin and cheap looking. All went well till about 8 weeks after I bought them and I moved one of them and rusty water came out. We had a look and the tubular steel ends are open so when we had rain it just goes inside and rusts. They say to cover them for frost, rain, snow but I thought that must have been for fading or plastic becoming brittle after aa few years. For over $500 I won't get more than one season out of these. There's no way I can cap the hollow ends either. I find it hard to believe a manufacturer can be so cheap as to do this. If it only lasts one season no one is going to make a return purchase from them.

Side board disappointment – The functionality of this sideboard is great but that we're it ends. The edging on the cupboard doors and draw have bad paint work. The legs are a… Read more

joke. They are wood w a plastic coating (that is crinkled) to create the color I guess. I'm so happy that it fit together well as the quality of the product is poor. I will be replacing the legs w legs from IKEA much better quality.

Cute, but poor quality and overpriced – For over $75 (or $58 with their current sale) you'd expect something a lot better than what you get. This table is tiny so make sure you pay… Read more

attention to the measurements. It's like a small side table. It's rickety and unstable, and the wood and paint are extremely poor quality. Mine is fresh out of the box with many flaws, dents, scratches, scrapes and other imperfections not attributed to natural wood. The paint is of thin, cheap quality. It actually leaves white marks behind on anything it touches (like my balcony tiles) and it's most definitely not weatherproof. It's not sealed (you can see the raw wood around the screws and where slats are attached). Buyer beware!

service and useless product. Unless you want to have a rail on which you have to hang towel that is folded and not properly spread out to dry, then highly discouraged to buy

I needed a compact TV cabinet for a rumpus room. I had planned to make my own but at less than $150 for a flatpack delivered to rural Australia, the… Read more

"TV Cabinet FLAM 110x40x50 cm Solid Wood Pine" from vidaXL seemed a more sensible choice. The delivery arrived within a few days, well packaged to protect the timber panels. The assembly instructions were difficult to comprehend; no written steps, just images. The many screws and fittings were separated into plastic bags, but unmarked. A basic understanding of screw gauges might be helpful. More concerning were the timber panels, especially the top panel. It was distinctly warped. Relying only on the screws for the assembly would undoubtedly leave unsightly joinery gaps.

I decided to glue & clamp the joins before fixing the screws. It pulled the the joins into place and seems to have set securely. The poor assembly instructions and additional glueing and clamping effort extended my assembly time to a couple of hours instead to the quoted "1 hour".

My only other quibble is that under natural light the pine colour on the website images does not reflect the final product; the timber colour looks a little grey and more matte.

But, generally the flat pack is OK and reasonable value.
