Has the product been repaired?
Yes
What did you do to repair it?
Left one earlier mend, as visitor not bothered that it doesn't 'look fantastic.' Stripped out incorrectly used screws and sanded some areas to remove splinters. Glued frame and drawer insert. Removed runner from final drawer side - so it fits better. Glued final side, replaced runner and left unit clamped so that the adhesive has time to cure. Visitor will collect drawer from venue in the week.
