Axium Espresso 6-drawer Dresser

Rating

I was surprised by the amount of assembly, but was able to do it in about three hours. The instructions were not the clearest, but slowing down and trying to insure proper assembly made the process easier. If you are in a rush to assemble the instructions will be frustrating to read. It has a great dark look that goes with most modern decor. I ended up adding some small round felt pads on the corners of the drawers to prevent slamming, because the rollers it has are quite smooth and if you are not careful you will slam them shut. The only complaint I have is that when we put some clothes in the drawers, the ones on the bottom got stained with some oil like substance from the particle board bottoms. Easy fix, was to put a cloth and then a plastic divider between the clothes and the bottom of the drawer. I love the look of the dresser.

This dresser looks amazing! We are so happy with it. It took my husband about 1.5 - 2 hours to completely assemble the dresser, and it looks wonderful. Note: This dresser is VERY heavy, so when moving, make sure to have a couple of strong men.We also purchased the matching nightstands and bed. The nightstands were also simple to assemble and look great. As for the bed, the bed took us around 5 hours to assemble and was poorly constructed (too much work with an allen wrench that was time consuming and tedious). But the end result is amazing. The set is very contemporary/modern and the almost black finish (looks black from a far but as you get closer you can see that it is more espresso - DARK brown) is beautiful. We are very pleased with all four pieces.

I had the nightstand to this set for a few years and decided that I liked it so much I wanted to buy the dressers. This is the first dresser that I bought. It came in 3 large boxes and it took a good amount of time to put together - you have to have patience. I did it by myself (I even just had knee surgery a few weeks ago and am limited on what I do) so it took me a little longer than others say, but I finished it in probably 4 hours. I did have to have my roomate at the end help me turn it right side up. The final product looks exactly as I expected, however, I only gave it 4 stars because the top of the dresser has cracked where the scews went in. I'm going to call overstock and see if they can send me a different top. I don't know if the screw holes were wrong or what happened, but there are now 4 small cracks that I'm afraid will get bigger. Something can easily be put over them to cover them, but it would be nice if they weren't there!

At first, I loved this dresser! I had purchased a similar bedframe that was much more expesive from a different company and was looking to complete the set without spending a lot. I bought the entire set : both dressers and two night stands. I put it together myself and it was a LONG process, but do-able. The drawers are tricky to set. It looked great for about two months, then the top of each piece began splitting exactly at the point of connection to the side panel. I am talking huge splits that actually made a sound when they occured! I will have to try to repair with wood putty and restain. I love the look, but would not purchase any item in the set again.

I recently redecorated my room, and was searching for the perfect dresser. I found this Axium Espresso, and when it arrived and I assembled it it was absolutely perfect for my room! The only cons: one (accidental) scratch from a co-assembler; and one of the drawers catches. Other than that, the dresser and two Axium Espresso nightstands I ordered look really great in my room. Thanks Overstock!
