#Swing 800 Right

Once fitted, item worked great, the tolerances were very good. Clean finish and seems to operate consistently well. Although I found the instructions to be a bit confusing. If you don’t have standard measurements, you have to be comfortable with adjusting the vertical pillar to find the best position.

The unit is solid and feels well made. It works smoothly. My only issue is with the instructions. When is says you must install the upright pole 485mm from the left wall of the cupboard, it means a MINIMUM of 485mm. At first I thought it had to be exactly 485mm, meaning the pole would be the wrong side of the cupboard upright. Once I figured that out (after drilling unnecessary holes) it was smooth sailing.

Exactly what we needed to make best use of our blind cupboard. Easy to install once I realised that the position for the notch on the bottom bracket for the shaft didn’t matter (if you’re buying this that’s good to know!). Took about me an hour to install on my own. Seems very sturdy and I think good value for money.

I was a little bit skeptical of these as they seem to be about half the price of similar units available elsewhere, however I needn't have worried. The units are solid and have a smooth action, they self-close without any issue and fit a decent amount of stuff on them - not as much as standard shelves but enough to feel like you are getting a net benefit from not having unusable space at the back of the shelf. I can't vouch for how easy they are to assemble as my kitchen fitter assembled them for me... badly! Upon assembly the shelves were wobbly and wonky but that was an installation error rather than a product fault... maybe the instructions for assembly aren't great - It was obvious where the kitchen fitter had gone wrong and I was able to correct his errors within 30 minutes, after which i now have rock solid shelves that I am fully happy with.

SUMMARY: DON'T BUY IT, IT'S NOT WORTH IT -> It's a poor-quality product. -> Assembly instructions are very confusing. -> Instead of helping you make use of your blind corner space, it makes it almost unusable. -> If you really insist on a pull-out solution, do yourself a favour and go to B&Q instead. You'll save yourself a lot of time and stress. You can thank me later FULL STORY: A little context first. I installed a blind corner kitchen cabinet from B&Q recently. We have a small kitchen, so I wanted to use that space efficiently and also avoid getting on all 4s every time I need that deep pot. I saw the Pebre pull out system in B&Q and I loved the idea. Unfortunately, I am cheap and stupid, so I found this Vadania product and decided to save some money... The problems started right after unpacking. The assembly instructions are very confusing. It's relatively obvious how to install the pole on the left-hand side but good luck trying to figure out the right place to attach the panel on the right-hand side... I found the manufacturer's video on YouTube, but the measurements for the placement of the panel were different between the video and the instructions included in my package! After I finally figured out how to install all the arms, I tried to place the shelves on them. No luck! One of the bolts went into the bearing quite smoothly, but the other one wouldn't go in at all. I thought I was doing something wrong, maybe not aligning or not leveling the shelf correctly. So I removed the arm and tried to place it on the bolt while the shelf was upside down, so I can see everything and align it correctly. Still no luck! I've put some pressure on it, the bolt went into the bearing a little bit and got stuck! FFS... The bolts on the second shelf were better so I managed to install that one. I decided to see how it works before trying to install the first shelf again. Here comes another issue... I realized that the shelf is super small, which combined with its awkward shape makes it pretty much unusable. It's not even big enough to put a dinner plate on it, let alone a couple of frying pans. I mean, you can put them ON the shelf, but they don't below the rails... FFS! The bottom line is that while trying to save 100 quid I wasted 200... The shelves are completely useless. I have thrown them away and installed a normal shelf. It's less convenient to access but now I can actually use the cabinet space efficiently. The pull-out system sold in B&Q seems to be better. The shelves don't have high rails so it should be easier to place items that don't fully fit within the shape of the shelf. However, I'll stay with a normal shelf for now.

All specified parts were included. You don't need to be a kitchen fitter but do need some mechanical aptitude, I did a dry assembly in slow time identifying what went where. Initial installation went well though my unit door is on the 'wrong' side, so the bracket on the panel had to be set further back. The unit does not have a central pillar so fitting the pivot post was fairly easy. To place the tray on the arms does require some dexterity and a second pair of hands to balance the trays helped. On first opening the shelves would not come out very far. I fitted an 25mm spacer bracket (see photo) and moved the pivot post 25 mm to the right. On reassembly the shelves came out further but still foul the door. An extra 25mm might improve things further, we shall see how we manage for the moment. The radius arms have pairs of bearings to allow the for friction free movement. During assembly the lower bearing of each pair might pop out. Simply push them back in and secure with hex screws and washer.

Reasonably good quality product. instructions are basic but clear. one problem I found, was the depth clearance. it was stated as 485mm from the center of the support tube. In reality it was 505mm which cause me to screw its fittings twice, hence 4 star not 5. Overall I'm satisfied with the purchase
