4.0 out of 5 stars Sofia's new furniture... April 29, 2009

By New Mom & Dad

Color Name:Espresso/White

Pro's:
-Quick Delivery (3days CA to AZ)
-Quick build time (45-60 mins)
-Easy instructions (requires basic handyman skills)
-No missing parts/hardware
-Great modern look, clean lines
-All holes for assembly line up, no drilling req'd
-Nice finish (exterior frame & drawer fronts)
-Fairly sturdy exterior frame

Con's:
-Standard packaging (heavy & boxes damaged on corners)
-Minor damage to furniture/finish (one corner of frame & one drawer front)
-Mediocre materials for drawer construction (sides & bottoms)
-Inexpensive drawer railing (does not glide very smooth)

Suggestions:
-Be patient, Take your time
-Have cordless drill, rubber mallet, screwdriver(phillips & flathead)
-Lay out all pieces to ensure all parts are in package

Summary:
Overall we are pleased with the quality & appearance of this piece of furniture. The finish of the exterior frame and drawer fronts is nice, smooth and clean. Our only hangup is the mediocre materials for the drawer assemblies. Inexpensive/lightweight wood for the sides & bottoms is used. If you are not careful you can overtighten the screws which will damage/split the wood.

In conclusion, this is a good buy, it looks great and is designed to last last a few years. We feel that pricing for this item should be a bit lower because of the mediocre drawer construction materials/hardware.
Suggested target price $285-$325

3.0 out of 5 stars overpriced for level of quality October 8, 2010

By John Belmonte

Color Name:Espresso/White|Amazon Verified Purchase

This piece looks nice in the picture and also in person. However the materials are low quality-- much lower than Ikea. The outer brown wood is soft and easily dents. The drawer sides and rear are close to balsa wood. While Ikea often uses soft woods and even cardboard within their construction, it's done in a layered way which is structurally sound. Not so here. I'm not expecting this furniture to last more than a couple of years.

Assembly takes a lot of time and extra care with force used on screws-- the slightest over-tightening will produce stripped holes and split wood.

The drawers have no dampening and close with a loud slap. Some creative use of adhesive felt solves the problem.

It's OK-- seems like it should cost under $150 given the quality.

4.0 out of 5 stars Soon to be parents July 23, 2008

By A. Batz

Color Name:Espresso/White

We received this fairly quickly after ordering and there were no problems, such as missing parts or things. No chips or dents. My husband put it together within 30 minutes(he is a carpenter) Looks great. Only things I find fault with are the drawer bottoms are somewhat flimsy and the changer on top measures around 31 inches long and doesn't fit most standard changing pads(which are 32inches) I had to return one that we received as a gift, but easily found one the right size. Overall, pleased with the dresser.
