Review of the purchase of a bedside table for the bathroom Studio 60
Of the main competitors in terms of quality, Aqua Rhodes has only Moidodyr. Bedside tables for the bathroom by the way are very not cheap, about 200 c.u. and above. For this money you get a beautiful design + high-quality fittings (closers, handles). We liked the design of the Studio 60 nightstand and bought it.
About six months passed and one side of the bedside table, which is closer to the bathroom, began to exfoliate from the bottom.
The warranty on Aqua Rodos furniture is 24 months, so we decided to write them a letter and ask if this is normal? In response, I received 2 calls from their service. First, they asked me to send more photos of the bathroom to understand how the bedside table is located. I sent:
The next call was longer and all 10 minutes of the conversation boiled down to:
1) The bedside table can not be wet, if water gets on it – it is necessary to wipe it with a dry cloth.
In my case, the water on the other side of the nightstand after the shower fell several times. I wiped it off of course, but probably not super dry.
2) I have the wrong bathroom curtain, it gets wet and then sticks to the bedside table.
Well, this does not apply to me, i.e. the curtain dries in the bathroom and nothing sticks anywhere.
3) Warranty repair is denied, for the two reasons listed above.
When asked to write this in a letter (e-mail), a person began to freeze and said that he call at any time, but he will not write anything, i.e. only on the phone he will say everything. It's weird. Well, if there is no warranty repair, so write about it. So my impressions of the service were twofold, they called back it well, but the rest is bad.
What to do if you have exfoliated chipboard in Aqua Rhodes furniture:
1) Cover the delamination with a sealant or varnish, so that moisture no longer gets there.
2) Buy a new chipboard panel and replace it yourself. On the phone I was told that it costs about 15 USD.
My conclusions about Aquarhos furniture:
1) Looks beautiful
2) Expensive fittings
3) Afraid of water, not even so VERY AFRAID of water.
4) There is essentially no guarantee, because you will be told that you yourself are to blame.
I don't understand how to make bathroom furniture like that! Which after 6 months of service exfoliates! And this bedside table costs 200 c.u.!!! And when contacting the service politely send, saying that the client himself is to blame, that splashes fell on the pedestal …
Here is a screenshot of the site with the price:
In order not to be unfounded, I found more reviews about Aquarodos furniture on the Internet, it turns out that the problem of delamination and decay arose not only for me + there is also a problem with wiring (mirror with a backlight), but also for many other buyers:
That's the way the world wags…
Therefore, if you still decide to buy Aqua Rodos furniture, remember that it is delicate, it must be wiped, do not allow moisture and install according to the instructions! That is, the cabinet is placed 20 cm from the bathroom, etc.
Well, do not count on the warranty. Aqua Rhodes is just beautiful furniture with expensive fittings, there is no question of reliability.
