I am thrilled with this dresser as well as the various stages leading up to getting it. Let me run through a few: 1) I ordered the dresser on a Tuesday, payed a buck for shipping, and it was delivered to my house by Friday. WOW. I couldn't believe how fast the delivery was. 2) It was delivered in three boxes. Everything was packed up marvelously - with styrofoam and plastic to ensure things didn't get scratched or banged up in the delivery process. I had all the pieces I needed and everything was properly labeled. 3) I had a lot of fun putting the dresser together, but I think I'm probably a bit freakish in that regard. I think of self-assemble furniture as a big puzzle with a beautiful piece of furniture the prize at the end. It took me about 4.5 hours to put it together, and that was working quite constantly. I got it put together myself for the most part, though there were a few places where it really would have helped to have someone else there (and, indeed, one place where I had to call a friend to come over to help me push together the sides). By the by - wooden dowels are evil. And you'll have to deal with a LOT of wooden dowels. And many thanks to those who suggested using an electric drill for some bits --- screwing in the 20 or so screws to affix the back panel on the dresser would have been terrible had I not had the electric drill. So all in all, assembly was about as easy as you could hope for for such a huge piece of furniture. It was fun watching the dresser take shape as I made it. 4) And what about the dresser itself? It is *gorgeous*. Others have noted that it's a darker color than was depicted in the picture on the Overstock website. But it's not a bad color at all. I love the simplicity of the dresser a lot. It was a bit shorter than I expected, with the drawers being just a bit more shallow than I thought they would be...but it was my fault for not looking more closely at the height of the dresser before buying it. And even though the drawers are a bit shallow, they still fit a huge amount of clothing. The drawers slide very cleanly on their runners. This is a well made (and, if you do it right, assembled!) piece of furniture. For the price I paid I'm really quite pleased with it and I fully expect it to be a part of my house and my life for a very long time to come.
I bought the night stands first and given that the "tobacco" is a darker wood tone that I had expected, I had decided not to buy the dresser. But after searching high and low for a mid-century look dresser and finding nothing below the price points at DWR ... I took a chance on this and was pleasantly surprised. Having put together the night stands a month or so ago, this assembly took us 2.5 hours. Parts were plentiful but no damage on anything or missing pieces. Does need some strength though. the drawer fronts have a little bit of gap still on the sides. but at this price, i am not nit picking. i will switch out the drawer pulls, the black ones get lost a bit. the reason why i had to post a review for this item here is because i totally disagree with a previous reviewer's comments on how this is fitting for a child's room... this is an adult size dresser, no question. the dimensions alone will tell you that. looks great. darker than i wanted but the design makes up for it.
I bought this dresser based on the numerous positive reviews, the great price and how attractive it looked on line. I was not disappointed. I was aware it would be a challenge to assemble based on the reviews. It was. I am not a handy person. I am not a technical person. But, I am a visual person. I carefully studied the diagrams and followed each step in the order recommended in the assembly instructions. I made sure I had cordless screwdriver as recommended by fellow reviewers. I don't think I would have had the strength to complete it had I not. There are so many screws and the wood is really hard. It took me nearly 4 hours. Yes, I know that is slow. Someone more handy won't take as long. It turned out beautiful. I was so proud of my assembly (a first for me), I posted pictures online. I got many complements. This is a beautiful piece for the price. It looks more expensive than it is. I feel it will last a long time. Regarding previous comments 1.) Smell: Yes, there is an odor to the wood but I don't find it abnormal or horrible. It will lessen in time. 2.) Design Flaw: the reviewer who gave this 1 star due to the "horrible design flaw" because the drawers were rolling completely out and falling onto the floor. The flaw is in their assembly. They clearly put the drawer runners on backwards. Drawers do not fall out.
This dresser is as sexy as the bed that it matches. The color is much more pleasing than in the Overstock picture. Works excellently to create an industrial/organic/natural ambiance in my bedroom. The knobs are sexy. Love that it's made from eco-friendly rubberwood. Takes forever to put together, as other reviewers have said because the instructions are subpar. Make sure you have a power drill. Lots of screws.
After looking around extensively at standard national furniture retailers including ***, ***, and ***, I am extremely pleased with this purchase. For it's very low price, the dresser is very high quality. The wood feels great and the color is very close to what it is in the photo. It took quite a while to put together, maybe 3-4 hours, but they included many spare parts. It also is really surprisingly stylish in person. There were some dressers at *** that were three times the price and far lower in quality.
As others have stated, it is a beast to put together. Not so much in terms of difficulty, but it is time consuming and fiddly. I worked on it a few hours over 3 evenings. Once you get it put together, though, it is really really beautiful. It looks much more expensive than it is. I had put the night stands together first which really helped - that was a good primer on the parts and general construction (as there are far fewer pieces to the night stands). I was a bit disappointed in the drawer slides on the night stands, so before I put the dresser together I went out to buy some nicer ones from Home Depot (soft close feature, etc.). After trying to install 2 of the nicer drawer slides I gave up and went back to the slides that come with the dresser. The advantages of the quieter and softer slides was offset by how tight they made the fit of the drawers (they randomly seem to be scraping on something no matter how much I try to adjust them). Nutshell -- the roll of the dresser drawers are slightly low-end, but the piece looks very very high end. I'm happy I saved the money and would purchase again. (BTW, the accompanying bed is very easy to put together and very very pretty).
This dresser is a great, modern piece at a fabulous price. It arrived as expected and took a few hours for my husband to assemble. One or two of the drawer backs were warped, but thankfully, they were on the opposite side and not noticeable once assembled. The dresser seems quite solid. Color is a bit darker than pictured. I am worried about the stain coming off on clothes, so I will probably line the drawers at some point, but other than that we have no regrets with this order!
I hope this review will help other buyers. First, the item came in different boxes, well covered and no problems in the boxes, shipment, item arrived as expected. Since this is made of wood, it is heavy. 2 persons must carry them. At first I was really hesitant to buy online furniture, the reviews helped me find this product. Second, it is not really easy to put them together, if you love puzzles when you're younger, then this one will be a good job and it will be easy on you. Can you imagine, my husband is the only one who did it, I guess an hour because he love doing puzzles and the challenge. Read the instructions and it will run smoothly. He also used an battery operated tools to put the screws together. Lastly, it works for us, this is what we need, and the price is affordable. I recommend this to someone who likes wood but of course you have to take time to put them together, you have to be on the mood. Good luck.
there was a small scratch on this dresser but not worth the huge hassle of a return. This isn't a high end dresser but it's a good solid dresser and a great value for the money. We are using it in a boy's room and it seems like it should last a long time. It's got a great modern aesthetic that I couldn't find anywhere else in this price range.
Solid piece, looks like it cost much more than it did. Assembly took a bit, but expected. As far as I can tell a high quality piece I would buy again at this price.
