This is one of the three pieces I bought from this collection and I was very happy with the price and quality. Of course it is not high end furniture but it is durable enough for my 8 year old son. This particular piece has very roomy, smooth drawers. Also, I love the modern look and semi-glossy finish.

Although the dresser itself looked nice when first put together, and was super easy to assemble, within a week or so the bottom started to have the top layer "peel" off. It literally looks like water damage although the dresser has never seen water! I think we will go back to Ikea and Target, at least their furniture doesn't show damage weeks after buying!

This is a very sturdy dresser, I love the color of it, and it did not take long to set up. Awesome price and came very quickly!

Easy to put together. Simple, classy, good price. Highly recommended for those seeking the simple, high utility, low maintenance furniture.

I purchased both this dresser and South Shore Furniture, Step One Collection, Night Stand, Pure black for my bedroom. The assembly was simple and took less than an hour. The finished product is sturdy and stable, but be aware that the drawer sliders are plastic, not metal. For something so cheap, this is a great product. I'm thrilled to be able to order this from Amazon and have it here within days and have it looks just as good as it does in the picture.

I searched for smaller chests in local stores and online prior to finding this chest on Amazon. After reading reviews ,I had mixed feelings as to quality and ease of assembley,but there was nothing else available at such an affordable price plus free shipping. The chests
(I bought 2) arrived very quickly. They were well packed,undamaged,exactly as described and I was able to assemble by myself without help in about 1 1/2 hours. Instructions are clear and easy to understand ,but they do reccomend two persons to assemble. In my case ,just one old lady was all needed! I would like to advise that the drawers MUST be completely tightened and runners flush. If not,the drawers will be difficult to insert into assembled chest. I had one drawer that needed a retight in order to fit. I gave completed chest a light protective wax that removed packing smudges. I think that this chest is a very good value for a useful 3 drawer chest. It is NOT fine furniture. It is practical and useful at a bargain price.

This chest definitely looked a lot more of a sturdier piece in the picture than it actually is. It's made up of compressed particle board, pieces of cardboard for shelve bottoms, and it has plastics railings which I wasn't too crazy about. My initial reaction when laying out the pieces was like you have GOT to be kidding. But it actually all came together nicely, instructions were simple and only took about 30 mins to put together. Screws, dowels..etc were all packaged nicely and in pouches for each section of the chest. Handles were solid, and didn't seem flimsy at all. The piece once all together seemed somewhat solid, looks like I will definitely have this for several years to come. When looking back at this piece, I would buy it again only because I feel that the price fit the piece really well. If I was looking for something a lot more solid, I would have paid A LOT more than $60. I'm happy with it so I'll give it 4 stars.

I like it for the price and appearance. It is not a top end furniture but it has a clean look. Be prepared to have to assemble it. It doesn't take two people to put it together like the other reviews had mentioned. The instructions were pretty straight forward.

This chest is pretty... but I must tell You..it is NOT the size and dimension that they advertise, (Measures 30 inches wide by 16 inches deep by 44 inches high). This is very disappointing to me... I even tried to get the 44 inches by measuring diagonally, to no avail. So, be forewarned...NOT as advertised.

We were looking for an inexpensive solution to a space problem, and this solved it nicely. There were some odd scuff marks, some permanent and others that could be scraped off, but overall it looks nice. It went together in about an hour, and it is very sturdy, which is a huge plus for me. Overall I am very happy with the purchase.
