I ordered this dresser from Amazon. The prior review should not be on here since it reflects Walmart.com's shipping, not Amazons. It is a nice dresser for the cheap price. I received it undamaged, with all of the pieces.
It takes a little while to assemble, but I have found it to be very sturdy. The drawers are easy to open and close, the kids (now 2,4,5) haven't damaged the slides at all (I've had it for almost 2 years.) Also, the drawers cannot fall out if pulled too hard. It holds quite a bit...plenty of space for my little ones. It is make of particle board, but it looks nicer than one would think. The biggest thing I would note is the color. It is almost a white-washed color...NOT PURE WHITE. It is white with a little "wood" grain showing through. I have it in with all pure white furniture, and it looks great. It isn't that it is cream, it just have a transparent finish. If you want a real wood dresser, this is not for you, but you will not get one at this price. It works for us...no worry about kids writing on it an ruining an expensive dresser when they are little.

I bought this dresser online without seeing it. It took quite a while to assemble (2 hours or so). It looks really pretty but the quality of the material is closer to the cheaper side. The material on the top of the dresser is very sensitive to water. I put a bowl on it once that wasn't very dry at the bottom and the stains are still there weeks later, so try not to use any water on it. The top left drawer is very stubborn and not so easy to open and close for some reason. I am not sure if it's a problem with the pieces themselves or if we assembled it wrong, but I think it's a fault with the materials because all the other drawers are perfectly fine. The colour is white but it has streaks of very very light pink/off white, so if you are picky about all the furniture pieces matching and being white, I would see it in person first before buying it to make sure you like it.

I probably looked at about a hundred dressers and went to about ten different stores. I was shocked and annoyed at how pricey composite freakin' wood could be! I wanted something that looked good and matched my other furniture but was under $150 and I found it. The key is assembly. I assembled it myself and it took almost a full day. If I had used some wood glue and a couple of extra nails this thing would be sturdy as all get out. Follow the directions carefully. The drawers slide in and out with quiet ease. The only negative thing I can say about the dresser is that it does chip easily but I've had it a few months without incident. Other than that it's fantastic.

This dresser isn't worth even the small amount of money I paid for it. I bought it on Walmart.com for a little more than they are offering it here on amazon. Do not waste your time. It is particle board and all the pieces came scratched. The one side panel even had a crack running through it. The back cardboard or whatever cheap thing your supposed to nail to the back side was missing. It rocks back and forth if you push on it and the drawers are cheap and flimsy with plastic sliders. I am going to disassemble it and take it back for a refund to put toward a better quality dresser. You get what you pay for.
