Poor quality in materials
I wasn't expecting natural wood furniture for the price point and the knowledge that it was knock down. It clearly states its made from engineered wood. However, I've purchased several items of this nature from bed bath and beyond as well as ashley over the past yr of this type and this dresser along with the matching night stands are of the lowest quality I've ever een. Even on pcs where it would have been easier to use stick wood or plywood as the structural component they used mdf. Example a 1x2 board. And the mdf is poorly manufactured with huge voids and shows little compaction. Definately not up to current standards for mdf constructionn, glue and quality control. Also the plastic application of outer finish is peeling up in several places at the edges just from their cutting and packaging. Finally the fit of drawers is horrible and they suggest adjusting a middle support height to improve drawer fit. Yeah because you can lift up on the center of the completed product and adjust fit of everything. That's how unstable it is. Had it not been for the return policies I would have returned it and bought local. Per policy you have to put it back in all original packaging. Cardboard Styrofoam and plastic to re ship and if they disagree with the quality defect you pay for shipping. This after you average 1 hr assembling each night stand and 3 hrs assembling a dresser. And I am mechanically inclined. Im a 30 yr industrial engineer freshly retired out of manufacturing. Pass on this product and shame of bed bath and beyond for peddling it.
