Montego Maple 6-drawer Tall Lingerie Chest

Rating

Overall, I thought this was a good buy. It worked for the space we have, looks fine, and was fairly easy to put together. The only issue I had is that one of the parts broke while trying to assemble. The good news is that the manufacturer was very quick and easy to send a replacement part.

The 6-drawer chest was what I expected and wanted, nice appearance and relatively inexpensive. I have some STRONG recommendations about the assembly process. HINT-1. Use a power-screwdriver of some type. There are nearly 200 screws and some of the pre-drilled holes need extra effort. HINT-2. The included instructions #1 Step is to insert the twist-and-lock Cams. DON'T. The pre-drilled holes for the cams can be very loose and the cams will drop out as you do other steps. Put the cams in only when you're ready to lock the boards together. HINT-3. Your first step should be to attach the drawer glides to the interior walls. ( STEP #7 in the instructions ) Those screws are tough to drive and it's a lot easier to work on a single board, instead of in the limited space of the assembled dresser. Same goes for the drawers. Attach the glides to the drawer sides, THEN assemble the drawer. HINT-4. The diagram shows attaching the front molding with a hammer on the upright dresser. I found it easier to lay the dresser on its back and apply steady downward pressure with my hands to pop the dowels into place. HINT-5. Attach the top molding to the dresser top BEFORE attaching the dresser top to the to the assembled dresser. Also, the top molding has two finished sides. Make sure the more attractive side of the top molding faces the front edge of the dresser top. Hope these suggestions are helpful. Good luck.

I love the color of this lingerie chest and the height is taller than I thought - a plus! It went together fairly well and the drawers we have finished work fine. The problem we have is that prior to putting it together we counted all the pieces and 3 of the screws were missing so we emailed and were told they would be shipped that day - it has been over 2 weeks and we're still waiting for them to arrive ... the other problem was some of the holes were overdrilled and went through the side of the dresser. It is a "paper" finish so not much you can do there and for us it's not a big problem as that side will be by the wall but would detract if you had it out in the room. I'll be satisfied when we can put the last drawer together and be able to use it ... You definitely need to anchor it to the wall for safety reasons and put light things on top - which is where the last drawer will eventually go!

A good value. It was easy to put together. It took my wife and I only about 2 hours to assemble it. I like how tall it is. My only complaint is that the drawers dont glide smoothly in their tracks.
