We have 4 Tower Units to install so I started with them. The units come pre-assembled and there is a massive amount of cardboard to collect and eventually dispose of. Personally I prefer flat packed but that is another issue and the pre-assembled units is a Wren sales feature. Initial impressions of the units is that they are a bit flimsy and the quality is average, Construction material is chipboard not MDF. Couple of things I noticed. One is that the hole drilling for the legs is done with blunt drills, there is a lot of chipping, holes not clean. Doors are not properly aligned in most cases and pull-out self-close drawers don't fit very well, see photo. There are no instruction whatsoever oh how to get the drawer to close flush, either on the Wren website or in the unit itself....this I will have to figure out later. However, the first task in the Wren instruction is to remove doors and drawers prior to fitting the units to the walls. IMMEDIATE PROBLEM.........Wren do not provide instruction anywhere on how to remove self-close drawers. Yes it can be done but it is not at all obvious.
From what I can see so far, the lack of proper instruction seems to be a general criticism of Wren and there is really no excuse for that.
