This dresser is nice looking, and it did not go together too badly, but what we did not like was the flimsy back they gave you. It was not much more then cardboard! It was not sturdy, and with having children around, that would not do. So my husband went and bought a peice of 1/4" thick plywood for the back, and that was all that was needed to make it sturdy. That was an added cost, but we did not feel like sending it back, as the plywood was cheaper then tearing it down, packing it back up to ship it back! The drawers are not bad as far as depth.This could of been better too. The bottom of the drawers were studier then what they gave you for the back of the dresser! It does look nice in the bedroom and I would suggest that you use plywood for the back and not what was provided with the product itself! For the price and the fact we put it together, I was expecting a better product!

I found this dresser to be easy to put together and for the price it is good quality. I would recommend it. I put the whole thing together myself (32 yr old female in less than great shape) and it while it took a few hours to complete I wasn't exactly rushing it. The instructions were to easy to follow and I didn't have any problems.

Since I've purchased this a couple of months ago, I have had to do constant repairs, nailing pieces together. The drawers are flimsy and the bottoms fall out. The frame spreads apart and I had to nail it together so it would be tighter and the drawers would stay on their track. Given the amount of time and aggravation I have spent on this, I can say that this piece of junk is no bargain. Save your money.

I knew this would have to be assembled. It took all day and then we couldn't put drawers in in because it collapsed. I had to send my husband to home depot for L brackets so my son could use the new dresser he was excited about. Needless to say his excitement didn't last that long. This is SO FLIMSY. I could have paid less and gotten a more sturdy dresser from Ikea. I won't buy anything else from this collection. I would be happy to get a refund and have the company come pick it up. I hate this dresser and wish I had never bought it. Rethink this one folks.

The box arrived absolutely smashed! Parts were missing and the top was broken across the complete width. I am still waiting for replacement parts!
I am very disappointed.
P.S.
The replacement piece arrived with smashed ends! Ugh!

The 5 drawer chest arrived in mint condition and once we put it together it was nice and sturdy. Was purchased for a 10 year old boy's room and I think we made a great choice

I had the opertunity to purchase this chest, knowing there was assembly required. Well there was, and a lot. But it was not difficult, just tedius. Everything went together as described, and looked beautiful. Very pleased with the outcome. Would reccomennd this product, and would buy another if I need.

The price was great on this dresser and the quality of the finished product amazed me. I'm so happy I took a chance and bought this for my room

Purchased the 5 drawer chest manufactured by Southshore furniture. Overall okay for the price. It's made out of particle board, but the back and drawer bottoms are cardboard! Very weak and unsturdy. I replaced the drawer bottoms and back with wood paneling. Also, the packaging it was bundled in was all falling apart by the time it arrived.

Combination set, we like the color.
The set is easy to assemble, nicely packed for the shipping and reasonable for the price.
The dept is just right if you do not have a lot of room, the look is nice, the drawers slide reasonably well since they are not all that deep and reasonable right for their purpose.
The look is positive.
