This one certainly is!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAfter taking delivery of her SpaceMate back in 2025, Diana recently contacted us to say that it had been making a horrible noise when opening and closing. She wondered if this was normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbsolutely not!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTrue to our no-quibble warranty, we immediately sent her a brand-new replacement and arranged to collect the original once the new one had safely arrived and Diana was happy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe returned drawer arrived a week ago and remained boxed while we were busy with other things. But when we finally got around to opening it, we were rather surprised to discover the cause of the problem: \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ethe roller wheels had never been fitted!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e 🤭\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe SpaceMate is designed to achieve that satisfying \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e“VW Clunk”\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e when closing. To achieve this, every drawer is assembled at the factory using precision jigs, giving it a carefully controlled ride height from front to back, just 2 mm above the slam latch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTo accommodate the varying loads (and occasional overloads 🤭) we all throw into the boots of our Californias, we fit rubber load-bearing wheels beneath the drawer. These maintain the correct ride height regardless of how much weight is being carried.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMaybe the phone rang. Maybe the daily courier arrived. Whatever the distraction, somehow these crucial little wheels were missed for the first time, and the SpaceMate somehow escaped our factory without meeting the quality standards we’re known for. Rare - but it can happen - but it's how we respond that counts. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Chance to Grab a Bargain!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eWe’ve now fitted the missing wheels, thoroughly checked the mechanism and restored the drawer to full working order.
