Well worth the price

"This chest looks more expensive than what we paid for it and although it was time consuming to assemble, it is sturdy and attractive."

"The directions were fine until we had to install the pegs to prevent the drawers from falling out. Very unclear as to the placement of these pegs. Using words such as top and bottom, left and right would have clarified this situation."

Nice looking chest
Date:December 27, 2010
"I put this together myself and it was difficult to do. It would be a lot easier with two people. Initially, one of the pieces arrived cracked, but it was replaced promptly. Once you put the dowels in the drawers, you won't be able to remove the drawers...so just keep that in mind!"

Great service
Date:September 6, 2010
"I purchased this piece of furniture with the expectation of waiting several weeks for it to arrive. I was very surprised when it arrived three days after the order was placed. It really is a beautiful piece of furniture. It was a little difficult to assemble because I did not have the recommended second person to help me, so it took me more than one hour to put together."

Looks nice but functions horribly
Date:April 8, 2010
"I purchased this piece in white and was anxious to assemble it and put it to use. Assembly was ok, save for one manufacturing defect...the unit uses screws to tighten all the fittings. Pre-drilled holes are provided, but on all of the drawers, the rear piece was not pre-drilled. As a result, the rear piece on two drawers cracked.
But the real problem is the drawer mechanisms...simply grooved wood over a wood slat. One drawer is almost impossible to open. In this day and age, to not use rollers, is absurd.
You receive a brochure explaining that the cracks and mars are a natural result of using real pine. No. CHEAP pine. This stuff is made of the softest pine I have ever used. I'm going to sleep on this tonite and decide whether to send it back tomorrow. But I would not consider buying this if you really intend to use it as a dresser."

Beautiful
Date:April 7, 2010
"I LOVE this furniture, the finish is polished and smooth and the oak woodtone is ra lovely risch color. It was easy to put together and all the epieces fit together perfectly. The drawer bottoms and back of the piece are thin masonite but could be easily replaced if they are not satisfactory. They work for me. I replaced the knobs with some handcast iron knobs and it really makes the furniture look expensive."

A bit short
Date:March 1, 2010
"Make sure you measure how high it will be. The dresser looked much taller in the promo materials than it really is which is below waist high. Looks great, but a little dissappointed at how short it is."

Great dresser
Date:February 16, 2010
"This is a great little dresser. It holds everything I need. It was not difficult at all to put together. I did it by myself. I am very happy with the purchase and the dresser is quite sturdy. Made of real wood! The only thing I did differently was put contact paper to the bottoms of the drawers. They were a little rough."

Broken Pieces
Date:February 9, 2010
"We ordered two dressers. With the first one, one of the knobs cracked in half while we were screwing it to the drawer. With the second one, one of the drawers was split into 3 pieces when we opened the box. Replacement parts are coming, but will take a week or two. I like the look of the dresser, but I'm disappointed with the broken pieces and the time it's taking to get it fixed."

not my favorite thing
Date:November 9, 2009
"The drawers are too shallow, the whole thing is just off a bit.
There were 2 sets of directions and one piece that was not on either of them?
It was difficult to assemble and did not feel rewarding when completed."

Worth the effort
Date:April 17, 2009
"Excellent quality for the price. The chest is extremely stable and solid after assembly. Assembly is not for the faint of heart.....it will take you a while if you are doing it alone. Very satisfied with this purchase and I would buy other pieces of the line. This was my second purchase."

"the entire 5 bedroom set came totally unassembled from the screws that came unevenly made to the drawers that came in about 6 different pieces each drawer
also the hardware was not made correctly and had to be bent to fit the holes for assembly.
the drawers did not fit either because the side bars were not evenly distributed .
had to send to a carpenter to fix.
If you are not a master carpenter, don't bother with these pieces"

just about perfect
Date:January 28, 2009
"I would have loved to give this 5 stars but I couldn't. It is beautifully made of solid wood, except for the drawer bottoms. They are made of pressed wood. I also have to say the assembly time is way off. I was able to put this together in about an hour with a drill. The directions are easy enough but there a lot of pieces and its time consuming. Over all it is beautiful and sturdy and seems like it coud hold up against my 2 year old son who just moved into a big boy bed. We purchased this dresser as a set with the twin bed, it looks great."
