Creighton Walnut Cherry 6-drawer Dresser

I am happy with the quality of the dresser, I purchased the item with the platform bed and night stand of the same style and they all look great together. The wood doesn't look cheap like other big box stores, such as book shelves and tv stands I have purchased at Walmart for example. But its still not like a handmade/ crafted piece of furniture... somewhere in between. Having said that, I am pleased with the quality to price ratio. As others have said, the drawers are extremely short, not much room to fit clothes. It is great for things like office papers or electronics, or as a sock drawer etc. Assembly wasn't so bad. No major issues when setting up the dresser and once assembled the drawers slide very nicely and better than expected. The dresser seems sturdy and solid. The only assembly flaw I found was a small gap between the side and top wooden pieces, most likely resulting from not everything lining up perfectly square. Even with pressing and hammering and readjusting to try and close the gap it wouldn't nudge. I guess this tested the "sturdiness" of the unit and the gap is hardly noticeable.

During assembly, the wood split while tightiening screws. It split the front of one of the side panels and it also split the wood while installing screws for the drawer slides. In addition, some of the drawers stick while sliding in and out.

I have assembled too much kit furniture in my life, this wasn't my first dance. I had the tools, I had a nice Milwaukee drill with a Phillips driver. I laid everything out alphabetically. Little did I know as I unpacked the box the handyman hell that this poorly designed piece of junk would unleash. an hour later I felt like I had just opened Pandora's box and watched every evil of globalization rocket out of that box. The demon of poor craftsmanship was there. The bugaboo of missing pieces. The imp of breaking camlocks. The devil of misaligned drill holes. The werewolf of warped wood. And the archfiend of Chinglish instructions printed on recycled paper bags in four point font. Every evil visited upon the American public by offshoring resides in this Creighton six drawer dresser. At this point I have spent four hours, busted half the potmetal camlocks that came with this piece of trash, and it looks like I have about three more hours of work to get the drawers done as well as spending my own money to run to the hardware store to buy more camlocks. But let me give you some specifics about my four hours of hell. Like other reviewers have mentioned, this thing has about as many parts as a DC3 and take about as long to put together. The first bit went well, but at about step three I had to get out a block of wood and a five pound hammer to set the poorly fitting pieces.The parts are supposed to fit together with cam locks, but the camlocks seem to be made out of recycled plastic and break at the slightest tension. The screws want to go in crooked, so they have to be started carefully by hand then driven the rest of the way with a drill. As usual they give you just enough parts so there are none left over, so if one breaks or you lose one you are out of luck. The best I could do with the warped wood pieces they sent was to have about 1/8" gaps on the major seams, not at all attractive. Tomorrow I get to assemble the drawers, also held together with camlocks I don't have since most have already shattered to shrapnel. At the very end of the instructions they finally mention that the drawers are not pre-drilled for the handles (after you have assembled all the pieces). This is Creighton's way of rubbing salt in your wounds after your six hour ordeal. My strong advice is to stay away from this piece of junk. Six precious hours of your life will be burned in frustration and misery. Your kids will learn words they should never hear, and this piece of furniture will permanently strained your marriage since you will forbid your spouse to ever buy furniture online again. The only reason this thing gets two stars it that it is not particle board and it does match the color. PS, Overstock just dropped the price 20% so not only did I lose a Saturday night, I now feel like I got ripped off.

This came completely unassembled. More than 100 screws and fasteners, 50+ wood pieces. Carcass needs to be assembled, drawers need to be assembled, drawer slides need to be attached. If you don't have tools and cabinet-making skills this may be TOO MUCH. This is the ultimate "ready-to-assemble" project... I thought I was buying a dresser. I was buying two boxes of parts.
