Almost a fine piece of furniture.Mar 17, 2008
By L. Ekker
"Guiding Directors through the Visual Effects minefield."
We collect Tansu, since 25 years, and I grew up with them too. We love Tansu and decided to get these as nightstands. We received them (this cabinet is actually two identically sized sections that stack) quickly, and unwrapped them to find that the description IS NOT ACCURATE! THIS IS NOT MADE OF SOLID ELM WOOD, IT HAS SEVERAL PANELS THAT APPEAR TO BE MADE OF CHIP BOARD. Now... I am a fine woodworker too, so I know my stuff. It has many solid panels, and the surfaces all look very nice, but please. Chip board in a chest for a grand? We kept them because we liked them, but a law suit cannot be far in this company's future. I had to repair some minor structural issues like underside corner pieces that fell off in shipping and a small crunch in the edge of the back panel. Nothing big, and not enough to return, but they still needed attention. We use them as bedside tables and they are good for that. Very nice finish quality overall, solid drawers (they needed some paraffin) and the iron is just okay. There are some fishes and turtles in the medallion designs that are actually vague approximations of the idea of a blob with animal like shapes... sort-of. Not fine metalwork by anyone's standards. The metal thickness is good, the escucheon pins stout, and everything fits well, but man.... who decided the animals were "good enough???" They look good in the room, people seem to like them, and we do too, so altogether positive, but they should be $300 less for the quality. They are made in China after all, folks.

Decent product but overpricedMar 27, 2008
By May
I ordered a 37" Japanese Design Double Stacked Emperor's Tansu Cabinet 2 weeks ago and it was scheduled to be delivered between 3/19/2008 - 3/24/2008. I didn't want to miss the delivery, so I took a few days off. After waiting until 6pm on 3/24/08 and still no delivery, I called Oriental Furniture. The representative told me there is only 1 person in charge of orders from Amazon and that person would not be in until morning, so she couldn't provide me with additional information. I called again on the morning of 3/25/08. I was given a tracking number and was told that FedEx Freight will be calling me to schedule the delivery.
Now why can't they just email me a delivery confirmation or put the tracking information online like all other vendors, so I don't have to waste my time for no reason? FedEx was supposed to arrive between 3-5pm but did not show up until 6:35pm. Anyway, the cabinet was finally delivered on 3/26/2008.
The top stackable section was in perfect condition but 2 of the drawers in the bottom section were stuck due to the underside corner pieces falling off during shipping. The drawer corners were scratched as a result. A couple iron pieces also came off, which I popped back in. Nothing unfixable. The iron design was not as fancy nor is it as sturdy as I thought; I have much nicer Tansu from local import vendors. The measurement is accurate, thus fit perfectly in the corner I want to put it. I am keeping this cabinet but next time, I will buy from a local store, where I can touch and see the quality in person.
For this kind of quality, I agree with the 3/17/08 customer review, this cabinet should sell for $300 less.
