VIAGDO solid bamboo column, 170 cm tall, louvre doors, anti-tip review

The only solid bamboo column here — a real timber rather than a coated board — with louvred doors and an anti-tip fixing included.

The bottom line The best material on this page and a properly considered cupboard. Read its dimension line carefully — the maker got it wrong and then corrected itself.

What you are getting

A tall bathroom column in 100 % solid bamboo, stated as high-temperature carbonised, about 170 cm tall with a footprint of roughly 33 to 34 cm square, with three open shelves, an enclosed cupboard below, louvred doors with a magnetic catch, an anti-tip device and an assembly tool.

Read the dimension line carefully

The listing states “H × W × D: about 34 × 33 × 170 cm.”

Those labels cannot match those values — nothing is 34 cm tall and 170 cm deep. Elsewhere in the same listing the maker calls it “the 170 cm tall bathroom cabinet”, which settles the height.

This page reports both statements rather than quietly reordering a manufacturer’s numbers. The height is 170 cm; the footprint is roughly 33 by 34 cm, in whichever order.

Solid bamboo, and what that changes

Every other column on this page is MDF or chipboard with a coating. Board has one terminal failure: water at a cut edge, and it swells for good.

Solid bamboo is timber. It takes a knock, it does not delaminate, and a mark can be sanded. What it asks in return is a finish kept intact.

The louvred doors

On the enclosed cupboard, so what is shut away — towels, spare linen — still gets air. In a bathroom without a window, that is the difference between stored and musty.

The anti-tip, fitted

At 170 cm on a 33 cm footprint it is necessary, and it is in the box.

What we like, and what we don't

Strengths

  • Solid bamboo rather than coated board — a real timber, which no other column here uses
  • Louvred doors on the cupboard, so what is shut away still gets air
  • An anti-tip device included and an assembly tool in the box

Compromises

  • The maker labels its dimensions "H × W × D" and gives 34 × 33 × 170, which cannot be read in that order
  • No shelf load figure and no statement about shelf adjustability
  • Solid bamboo in a wet room needs its finish maintained where board does not

Questions people actually ask

How tall is it really?

170 cm. The dimension line in the listing labels its three figures as height, width and depth and then gives 34 × 33 × 170, which cannot be read in that order — and the same listing separately calls it "the 170 cm tall bathroom cabinet". The maker resolves its own contradiction, and this page reports both statements rather than silently reordering the numbers.

Is bamboo better than MDF in a bathroom?

It is a real timber: it does not swell irreversibly at a cut edge the way board does, and it takes a knock better. What it needs in return is its finish kept intact — water standing on bare bamboo will mark it, where a melamine face simply wipes.
