We found this small piece of furniture on BedBathBeyond.com that we thought would go great for a little piece to have in the corner with some wine glasses and something nice on top.
Ordered it about a week ago, and it arrived today. The box was really quite damaged - apparently Bed Bath & Beyond doesn't ship items with packaging they just throw the item in the truck. Macy's however has shipped everything in a box even if the item comes in a box - so you have some extra packaging.
After the pictures were taken of the box, we opened it up and started putting it together. The directions are just horrendous. A diagram with no lines showing you what goes were, nor anything about what order to do anything. I've put together my fair share of put together furniture and this is by far the worse! The furniture from http://www.ikea.com/ has awesome directions with neat cartoons.
We found out that one of the drawer fronts was broken - where you have to attach the screw - so we set that aside. Continued putting it together - the back of the drawer has no pre drilled holes - so you are kind of guessing on getting it all lined up.
When it came time to attach the side to the base - the cam locks are made out of such cheap metal that when you turn them (so they lock into the wood) - the cam locks bent instead of going into the wood. These are definitely the cheapest quality cam locks ever - I highly doubt they would have held up even if you could get it together.
So now I have a partially put together Wine Bar Pacifica that I have no clue what to do with, I will never be able to get it back into the box. So I guess I'll call them tomorrow and see what they want me to do with this hunk of junk that they sold us. The packaging from this by the way was excessive and made with lots of that cheap Styrofoam that gets the little white bits all over your house.
Overall this experience has made me think twice or maybe more before ever ordering any sort of furniture from Bed Bath & Beyond. Frankly the really cheap stuff from Christmas Tree Stores has been of way better quality than this.
