Lovely drawers

I recently bought this product and I hope to buy more. It is the only product that perfectly fits my wardrobe which has a dimension of 70cm by 50cm for a drawer to be fitted. Thanks to B and Q, this has saved me the cost of getting expensive wardrobe fitters. It is very beautiful and the quality of the material is excellent. I just have a few snags. 1. It would have been very perfect if the drawers were a bit deeper. It says an overall depth of 47 cm but when it arrived it was 45cm ( which was also written on the package ) This makes the internal depth of the drawers itself about 42cm. My wardrobe is 50cm deep and I thought I was just going to have a 3cm space after dropping the drawer inside but now I have a 5cm space. 2. The drawers are a bit shallow. It can barely accommodate 2 layers of clothes one on top of the other. It would have been better if it’s a bit bigger even if it ends up being 3 drawers instead of 4. 3. Finally, please make the manual more explanatory and put stickers to label the parts for easy identification and reconstruction; - There was nothing to clearly identify the ‘A’ and ‘B’ drawers. I found out the drawers were not fitting after construction. I thought the railing positions were wrong and dismantled to adjust the positions but after dismantling twice, I took a long look at the manual again and realised there were two types of drawers with one having a longer edge than the other. Just put a sticker labelled ‘A’ and ‘B’ on that part of the drawer and this will make it easier for everyone. - The front end of the drawer railing requires 2 screws but only one impression was made for one of the screws. Just make 2 impressions to make it easier to put the screws. - Also make screw impressions for the points to put the handle screws. It will make it easier and more uniform. I had to start measuring to get the mid point so that all the handles will be in a uniform position. It is easier to do this in the factory to make it more accurate. - I found it much easier to fix the top 3 drawer railings first before completing the building of the frame box. I couldn’t fix the bottom rail because the position of that rail is on top of the locking screw that helps to make the box stable. It is very difficult to screw the drawer rails after you have finished building the box. If possible redesign it so that the rails can be screwed first before constructing the box and then after constructing the box, the next step will just be to construct the drawers and slide them in. Sorry for the long feedback , it is a lovely product and I enjoy DIY a lot but i struggled with this one until I was able to work out things. I hope to order for some more. Thanks.
