The dresser is nice looking, definitely has the mid century vibe that I was looking for.
CONS it came broken on the back piece, I noticed when I was identified all the pieces, to put it together.
also the perforation on the pieces to get the screws in and dowels should enter is poorly made, so you need to put and extra strength, pressure and effort to screw the pieces together.
it took me about 5 hours to built it by myself
If you order this without assembly, you better have some basic carpentry knowledge, as well as tools, and muscle to back it up.
I have ordered many assembly required furniture pieces over the years and had no problems putting them together, but this is not easy, no this is straight up building, as in dowels, nails, screws, and industrial glue.
I was shocked when I opened the box and realized this was not furniture that needed assembly, but rather all the wood pieces and screws needed to build it.
I started on it and tried my best, but unfortunately the instructions are terrible. In a few places it even has parts mislabeled and tells you to put wrong pieces together, not to mention the order in which it tells you to do things is not the most structurally sound.
I didnt have the muscle to manually screw pieces into un/drilled wood. I had to have my husband, who luckily knows about this stuff and has the muscle to do it take over.
There was no way I would have been able to finish putting it together with these horrible instructions.
Plus drilling into the wood with no predrilled holes and a manual screwdriver is murder on the joints. Luckily we had an electric drill with screw driver bits.
The piece is really lovely, but thank goodness my husband has some basic carpentry skills, cause otherwise it would still be in pieces.
DO NOT order without expert assembly, unless you or someone you know can build this without an instruction manual.
The furniture itself is lovely, and exactly what I was hoping for, I just didnt plan on building it myself.
We bought these for our guest room and found them to be fairly easy to assemble, pieces are well marked, design is a little confusing, but we figured it out. Got each together in about an hour. Theyre sturdy and look nice in the space.
Good solid wood construction. They did cheep out at the end. And made the bottom of the draws out of press board. Over all Its a good sturdy table. A lot of assembly required.
They are time/consuming to assemble and you really do need 2 people. We love that they are solid planks of wood! No pressed wood in the main frame (exception is drawer bottoms). These will last for decades so I am thrilled with their quality and style!!
Ive ordered several pieces from this company over the years.
First, out of the seven or so that Ive ordered, 3 came with damaged pieces and one came without hardware. will replace if you contact them, but it takes a bit of time to go through the process and wait for delivery.
The type of wood used is a pine wood that has a tendency to split. When assembling these nightstands, both splintered in the exact same place when I drove the screw in. Fortunately, I caught it before it got out of control. One step up from particle board, but not going to stand up to havoc.
Speaking of assembly, these can be a bit of a pain at times. Nailing the panel on the back was a bit of a chore with nails flying everywhere and not passing through the wood due to not enough overlap between the wood and the panel.
If you do somehow manage to make it through the assembly process intact, you have a decent quality piece of furniture. The wood is pretty soft so these wont hold up under abuse and there may be alignment issues, especially in the drawer area, but overall, Im satisfied enough given the price point. will be a more consistent, less frustrating experience if youre looking for something to compare to.
I wish the drawers were on a tracks and soft close would be a huge plus. Overall looks very nice and is very sturdy. Glad I went with solid wood instead of a pressed board dresser. I purchased the matching nightstand and love it as well.

Perfect night stands!!!
Just what I needed
Great little nightstand/good looking, easy to assemble, perfect extra storage for a small space.

Great quality for price

Great
Very nice, use it as a bedside table and a medicine cabinet. Great spacious.
Decent furniture if you can assemble it undamaged
