South Shore Smart Basic Dresser, Chocolate 4.4 5 7 12
check your colors OK, as far as value for dollar goes, this was a great product. It was super heavy and for the price, suprisingly sturdy. BUT: (and this is a big one) the chest was WAY darker in person than in the photos, VERY difficult to match up to other pieces. 05/19/2011
Great purchase but some things to keep in mind... I'm very happy with my purchase because it fits my needs perfectly and the price is killer (in a good way) but a few notes on the dresser...Like another poster said in their review, the color is much darker then the pictures makes it look. That ended up being a plus for me because it matched the other furniture in that room better then I thought it would. Also, it's pretty short. I was a little surprised at how short it was. I guess I would have known that if I cared to figure the measurements provided but like the color it worked out good in the room I have it in anyways (it's for a toddler's room - perfect toddler size. They'll be able to grab things on top of the dresser too.). I don't think I'd elect to use this dresser in anything but a child's room because it's just not big enough (in my opinion) for a teenager's clothes or an adult's. It's pretty small. The assembly instructions seem a little overwhelming at first because you literally have to assemble *everything* but once you get going you'll get the hang of what needs to go where quick. Just do stick to the instructions CLOSELY, my dear hubby thought he'd do it without actually READING the instructions (just looking at the pictures) and ooopps! That mistake resulted in some damage to the dresser facade. Also, not sure if it mentions it in the description but the drawer tracks are not metal nor to they have wheels - it's all cheapy plastic. So you are essentially just lining up the plastic strip that sticks out on the drawer to the plastic track on the inside of the dresser when you first insert the drawer and that's how it glides in and out (once again, no wheels). Right now it's fine and pretty smooth but given my previous experience with this kind of dresser, after a couple years it's going to be less smooth and jam up easily. It does have a stopper piece that prevents the drawer from being pulled out completely so that's good. Lastly, it's really heavy. Like REALLY heavy. Like two people need to carry it or it's not going anywhere heavy - that though might be partly due to the fact the bottom is not flat, it's the unfinished, rough sides of the wood panels which makes it dang near impossible to drag across carpeting.With all that said though I am VERY pleased with my purchase. It works perfectly in the room I needed it for and I think the price is a better deal then other places (I did get it on rollback though). Hope this helped!!!*PS I am uploading 2 pictures with this review. The first shows the assembled dresser. Lighting is bad so it looks black. It's a very dark brown but not black. You can see the color better in the second photo. Also in the second photo the bottom drawer is extended out as far as it'll go. In case you were curious. 11/26/2011
love it! I purchased this dresser for my 8 year old son. I love it more than he does. Of course the directions say put it together with help but I did it myself. Looks great and holds a lot of clothes. The draws are spacious. The finish is nice also. 02/10/2012
Very nice I bought this for my daughter, I had searched for months for furniture for her room. It was a little dark but it works perfect for a toddler who is discovering the world. This dresser was the perfect height and we look forward to having it years to come! 01/22/2012
