This 6-drawer white dresser is a fantastic addition to any bedroom or closet space. One of the biggest highlights is how easy it is to assemble. The instructions were straightforward, and all parts were clearly labeled, making the setup process smooth and stress-free — even for someone without a lot of DIY experience. The dresser feels impressively sturdy and heavy! The drawers slide in and out smoothly, and the overall structure is solid, with no wobbling or instability. It's a great storage solution, especially for smaller spaces where vertical storage is key. The clean, minimalist design blends effortlessly with any décor, and the matte white finish adds a bright, fresh look to the room. For the price, you're getting a reliable, attractive piece of furniture that delivers both style and function. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an easy-to-assemble, space-saving, and durable dresser.

So, I just finished assembling this dresser and wanted to write a review while the experience is still fresh in my mind. Before going further, let me say that I have assembled many different types of this "you-do-it" furniture over the years (and have the extensive and colorful vocabulary of curse words to prove it), so I feel qualified to give a review. First, this baby is HEAVY. The UPS man trotted it up to my doorstep on his shoulder and sat it down like it was a sack of potatoes, but I couldn't move it off the porch. Once hubby arrived home, we got the box inside (he had to use a dolly, I don't know what they feed those UPS guys!). The parts were very well packaged and all the pieces were there, which was exciting. No serious damage. A slight scuff mark on one of the sides, but since it was going in my closet, I didn't particularly care. Once I began to assemble the dresser, I was pleasantly surprised. (Yes, I assemble, my husband totes. This is why my marriage has lasted over 30 years). The pieces are really solid for this type of furniture. Also, the manufacturer went to some considerable trouble with the directions. They are actually very clear (rather than being written in a dead language that no one has spoken for a couple thousand years), and have many helpful diagrams. They even color coded some of the parts for those of us who have trouble programming a DVR. (Note: you do actually need to READ the directions and follow them even though we all know that real men don't need directions. And no skipping ahead!). I was one of the lucky ones this time and all of my pre-drilled holes aligned and joints fit. Even so, it took me about 2 hours to assemble because the manufacturer put some thought into this thing and made it sturdy. Once complete, I'm really pretty happy with it. Now, something that I don't particularly like. There's no bottom on the dresser. It's open to the floor. Also, the back doesn't go all the way to the floor. This is probably not an issue if it's going in your bedroom or your closet, but if you intend to put it somewhere for storage, you may want to attach some plastic to the bottom/back of the dresser so you don't have little creepy crawlies make themselves at home in your drawers. Is there a gap between the dresser top and the top drawer? Yes. But it's only about 1/4" and I haven't seen one of these ready-to-assemble pieces that doesn't have gaps somewhere. The drawers fit surprisingly snug, however. I also am not crazy about having the cams on the inside of the drawer where my clothes will go, but that's not a show stopper. They don't stick out so that they're likely to snag on my clothes and I'll probably forget they're there by next week. It would be nice if the manufacturer had included some of those little plastic covers that snap over the cams. Overall though, I'm impressed with the quality and I feel it is worth the price I paid. I would recommend this piece to others who are looking for something similar. (Hint: when assembling, the drawer bottoms sometimes have difficulty sliding into the groove on the drawer front. If you loosen the cams on one side of the drawer, you can slide the bottom into the groove and re-tighten the cams. Worked every time!)

I purchased it for a small bedroom space, and it has turned out to be a solid and functional choice — especially for the price point. Assembly & Labeling: The assembly process was straightforward. All the pieces were clearly labeled, which made following the instructions much easier. I’ve put together a lot of flat-pack furniture before, and this one didn’t give me any trouble. You’ll definitely want a screwdriver or drill on hand — and a little patience. Took about 90 minutes solo. Drawer Depth & Storage Capacity: Each of the six drawers offers decent depth. They’re not super deep — I’d estimate about 5–6 inches of usable internal depth — but they’re well-suited for clothes, undergarments, small linens, or accessories. The vertical design makes smart use of space, and it holds more than I expected for its narrow footprint. Material & Build Quality: The dresser is made of laminated particleboard, and while the body feels decently sturdy once assembled, the drawers themselves have plastic runners and drawer bottoms. These aren’t designed to hold very heavy items — so I wouldn’t load them with books or bulky electronics. That said, for everyday clothing and bedroom storage, it functions just fine. Sturdiness & Functionality: Once put together, the frame is stable and doesn’t wobble. The drawers open and close smoothly on the plastic glides. While not heavy-duty furniture, it’s more than sturdy enough for regular bedroom use. I’d suggest anchoring it to the wall if you have kids around — it’s tall and narrow, so safety first. Overall Functionality & Design: The dresser looks sleek with a modern brown finish that matches most decor. It’s not flashy, but it’s clean and functional. Great for small apartments, guest rooms, or dorms. The knobs are basic plastic — which work fine, but you could easily replace them to elevate the look. ⸻ ✅ Pros: • Clear labeling and instructions for easy assembly • Space-saving vertical design • Surprisingly decent drawer capacity • Modern, minimalist appearance • Affordable price point ❌ Cons: • Plastic drawer runners and hardware • Not suitable for very heavy items • Basic knobs (though easily replaceable) ⸻ Final Verdict: If you’re looking for an affordable, functional dresser with good storage and a clean look, this is a great option. Just manage expectations — it’s not solid wood, but it does its job very well for the price. I’d buy it again for another room.

Pretty good quality. It’s sturdy and it’s exactly as described and pictured. We were two people and managed to build it in 2.5 hours. The instructions were generally easy to understand. We were missing a piece and reached out to the seller and they sent it to us for free and fast.

Sturdy and heavy, tall and narrow chest. Perfect for undergarments or the kids room. Worth the money. No missing parts. Excellent!!

Assembling this drawer system was every easy and smooth. Everything is labeled properly so there are no mistakes when assembling. It is also very sturdy compared to my slightly uneven floor near the walls. The tracks are really smooth and color coordinated for assembling, making sure that you don't cross tracks. It is not like Ikea who uses mostly particle board. It actually has very strong wood so you know it is strong. The only thing I do not like is the wall mount that comes with the package. The drywall screw did not work out as planned or what it was supposed to do. But all in all a great drawer for the price and storage.

Over the last several months, I've bought several pieces of furniture that need assembly - mostly tall shelves for my bedroom and living room. And I've been shocked over and over again by the shoddy quality of the manufacturing process and the unclear instructions - even though I read the comments carefully and hadn't seen any warnings. I've had to ship back more than half of them for a refund, and I got to the point that I decided to never again buy wood shelves - just metal ones. But I needed a new dresser, and this one fit the bill - just the right size. Most of the reviews were good, so I took a chance. First - Yes, it's incredibly heavy. And that can be a problem these days when delivery companies leave packages at your front door - and I live on the third floor with no elevator. (I'm a 68-year-old woman - fairly strong.) So I was incredibly lucky that the UPS delivery woman took pity on me and carried it upstairs for me. She told me she only did it because I'm a senior, and her boss would not have been happy to see her do that. She was young and strong, but it was still incredibly difficult for her. I offered to help her carry it, but she said she was trained to do it, so she insisted on doing it herself. At one point, she rolled it end over end up the stairs. Wouldn't it be great if companies began shipping heavy packages in two boxes? So I was a bit nervous, because if the product was defective, there was no way I could take it back to the post office. Second - I was astonished at the quality of the workmanship and the clear instructions. I went slowly and methodically, following the instructions to the letter, and had no problems at all. Took two or three hours. (Had to laugh at the guy who complained about things that went wrong - clearly he doesn't believe in reading or following instructions.) Third - I screwed in everything by hand until I got to the end. Then it was much easier to use an electric screwdriver to put the final screws in the drawers. Fourth - inserting drawers. I was a bit worried because I had a few problems inserting them, but I soon realized that was just my mistake. If you roll them in carefully, they go in perfectly. I think it's possible that the company has corrected mistakes that it made in the past because it was beautifully packaged with no damage at all and almost the perfect number of screws. I had three left over. There was a slight odour, but not unpleasant. Companies that do this quality of work need to be rewarded, so I recommend reading comments carefully and buying only from companies with excellent reviews. The final piece is beautiful and sturdy, and the handles are high quality. I'm delighted with it and can't wait to use it. At some point I may paint the drawers.

Absolutely love this. Excellent quality. Easy to assemble. I placed this in my front entrance because there's always a lot of little things left at the front door (keys, hats, masks, scarves, wallets, etc.) So this is a great little "hide the junk" piece :) I put some antique-y drawer pulls on them = elegant!

When I received my package I have to admit, it was much heavier then I expected. (I felt sorry for the postman/woman). However, I thought this was a good sign as far as quality goes. Upon opening it I was overwhelmed with pieces and parts. It took me about 2 hours to assemble. My cats and dog had a hay day with all the cardboard and plastic wrap everywhere. I really took my time and made sure not to miss any pieces even though at the end of the day I had a few left over screws.. hope I didn't need those.... Anyways, the instructions were in my opinion very good. They are detailed and you may have to read them once or twice but if you follow closely you will do fine. If you are not the kind of person who likes to assemble furniture and you don't have a handy hubby in your life I would not buy this. There is quite a bit of assembly required here. I love this dresser and Amazon had the best price. It is a bright white color, and the quality of the hardware is great. I sometimes find the drawers to be a little unsturdy when you have loads of underwear or what ever in them and the drawers almost fall out when you pull them out to grab something, however I haven't found a good dresser that doesn't have that fault. Maybe its just me.
