Wavelength 6-drawer Chest

This is a great value for the money - with one caveat - it's extremely labor intensive to put together. There were so many pieces. Fortunately they were labeled, but it still took over three hours to assemble. All the drawer slides had to be installed as well as everything else being assembled. However, it was well worth the time and money. It's a quality piece of furniture. I couldn't find anything in a store for double the price that came close to the quality.

The dresser takes a while to put together. I would recommend using an electric screwdriver if possible because my hands/fingers are a bit sore/blistered from the assembly. Overall the dresser is a nice size. Tall, roomy but not too bulky. The directions are pretty straightforward, and all the necessary pieces were included. I bought this to go with a simple platform bed (not of the same set) but the wood colors seem to match and I'm relieved that I can fit a lot of clothes into this dresser and unclutter my closet! Probably the best dresser I've owned in terms of appearance and space. Plus the price is a lot better than other dressers I've shopped for online.

I did get this on sale, but even at the regular price I think this item is a great value. The pieces are nicely made and the wood is solid. Drawers fit and glide nicely, and seem to be able to hold a decent amount of weight. The color is just as pictured on the site. As other reviewers have noted, it is an extensive assembly. I have a decent amount of experience assembling this type of furniture, and I am very handy. I bought two- the first one took me 4 hours, the second one took 3. As long as you take care to double check you haven't missed one of the very numerous steps it is straight forward, and the instructions and hardware kit are complete. Once assembled properly it feels quite sturdy and solid. I do highly recommend a power screwdriver, as there are a bazillion screws and cam locks. I also had to employ a hand held sledge with a towel wrapped piece of scrap wood to protect the furniture from the hammer, as getting the pieces to fully squeeze together required this extra power. I would recommend this to anyone desiring a mid-grade quality piece of furniture. It is a massive step up from the Swedish design type MDF furniture I am replacing, and for a comparable price as the lower quality stuff.

After having shopped around at the local stores for furniture I decided to take my chances on Overstock.com. So glad I did! Most furniture we found was 2-3 times the price of this furniture line (wavelength) AND was very cheaply constructed. We purchased two night stands, the dresser and the chest. It took my husband and I ALL day to put everything together but with what we saved and the quality of the furniture it was a day well spent! The furniture is SOLID. No flimsy drawer bottoms or backings! There are ALOT of pieces and you need to be good at reading directions but everything fits together well. You MUST use an electric drill. If you screw everything in by hand you will probably get carpal tunnels syndrome AND take 3 weeks to put everything together. Our recommendation is to divide up all your parts and then start with the drawers. We had a little system going when I did what I could with popping in the metal screws and using a rubber mallet on the wooden pegs; then my husband used the screw driver to tighten the screws and lock down the tracks. This worked really well! Make sure you pay attention to details. Thank goodness we made the mistake in the beginning on a nightstand. There IS a right and wrong side for some of the wooden dividers that go on the front of the furniture. After putting together a night stand we noticed we used the almost black side of the wood for one piece instead of the brown side. It's hard to tell until you line the pieces up side by side but then you see the difference. BE DETAIL ORIENTED! The only con we found with this furniture is on both of the large items- the chest and the dresser, there is one drawer on each that seems tighter than the rest. It's not a big deal but it will probably be an uavoidable aspect of assembling your own furniture. All in all we are super happy with this purchase!
