This is not my first rodeo, to put the furniture together by myself. This one it’s a hell and a half. Instructions just suck. Some holes or not even drilled through. I could not connect to the main parts without drilling a hole’s.
It is beautiful, but it takes the living life out of you


I chose this dresser mainly for the color, it’s a beautiful finish, only thing I changed are the handles. I do advise to not place too much into the drawer because the base WILL come off.
We bought this dresser for our nursery. A few of the pieces got damaged in transit, but nothing serious enough to return it. But once we started putting it together we were short two of the slides for the drawers. Luckily we found some on Amazon that were just about the same slide. Now, trying to attach the drawers, the screws they give you for this don’t work. They are too short and not “wide enough” for the screw hole. I didn’t want to go through the process of contacting the manufacturer because you have to fill out a form and email it back to them, and hope it got back to us in time. I also swapped out the handles for some nice metal ones, the handles it comes with are cheap and plastic. Other than having to find hardware, it looks like it will be an okay dresser..
I would say this takes a bit to put together as you are only following pictures and not all pieces were labeled. I would get different handles because the ones that are provided are cheap. I would say the drawers arnt super deep but there are alot of drawers so that helps. I love how it looks!
As a Prime member this product shipped quick, which is always a plus. The price is a little much but not too far off from being fair. As you know, this unit has 8 drawers; 4 left, 4 right. Each drawer has a storage space that is 13" deep x 25" wide x 5" high and extends out at 7" from the inside of the drawer. If this drawer extension length is insufficient, modifications can be made to the sides of the drawer. Due to the drawer slides being recessed into grooves on each side of the drawer, I recommend pulling the drawer slide back to allow for desired drawer extension. Drilling new size matching holes will be required at that point. The bottom of the drawer is thin. It will hold weight, however, I would refrain from pushing down in an attempt to stuff the drawer full. The pulls are cheap plastic but effective. Don't over tighten. I caught a few small mistakes I made shortly after attaching the slides. Pay CLOSE attention to the layout. Making mistakes early will bite you later. I have experienced applying back panels as this product indicates and I must say I am not a fan. The product did ship in 2 seperate boxes, so this configuration allows for the shipping size to be smaller. Sort out all of your parts. The parts came as a hodgepodge bag. Pay close attention to the screw sizes. Defer to the parts list page for sorting. Once sorted it makes it MUCH easier. This is a nice dresser, but understand the quality of your purchase. It is not a 12 screws and your done dresser, nor is it a soft close dove tailed dresser, either. Treat it like trash and that is what you will end up with. Lower the price anywhere from $20 to $30 and this would be excellent.
They are gorgeous and exactly the look I was going for in my bedroom, but my husband has already pulled off 2 of the front of the drawers trying to pull them out further. They only pull out 8", but there is 13" of drawer space. I was able to place the drawer fronts back on to the screws and dowels provided when purchased but they were no longer sturdy and easy to pull off again. To fix the problem, I first placed wood glue, then added 1" metal brackets to the inside of the front of the drawers. DO NOT USE THE SCREWS THAT COME WITH THE METAL BRACKETS, they are too long! I used 1/2" screws. I also drilled new holes 4 inches back from the front on both sides to add the slider thingys (no clue what they are actually called) which gave me 12" to pull out the drawers rather than 8". Hopefully this helps someone who has encountered the same problems as I have. If it wasn't for those problems I absolutely would have given a 5 star review. I almost did right after we got them together, but decided to wait a few weeks just to be sure they were perfect.
Particle boards, small size
This dresser is much better quality than I expected to get, given its price. Came in two heavy boxes, packed in copious styrofoam. You will need a variety of tools to put it together; I found a rubber mallet, Phillips screwdriver, and a cordless drill with assorted bits to be very useful. They provide a hex key which is pretty useless - on a large number of the screws, a star bit proved better than a hex bit.... There is an enormous number of fasteners of various types - I have put together a lot of kit furniture, and this one took me several hours... The directions rely on illustrations with few verbal instructions, and the various furniture pieces and packages of screws, etc., have no labels on them whatsoever to help you refer to their drawings. I'd suggest putting this together in a large area where you can lay out the pieces and fasteners to enable you to easily reference the drawings (which are correct, but lack detail). The safety strap installation is strange, but works... Lastly, there are pre-drilled holes in some of the pieces for both dowels and MDF screws - those holes are easy to confuse, as they are about the same diameter (refer carefully to the drawings)...
It was a fairly challenging assembly, but when you're done, it is a sturdy, nice-looking, serviceable dresser for a very low price - I would recommend it only for someone who's had good experiences in assembling kit furniture.
