Little Seeds Monarch Hill Poppy 6 Drawer Dresser, Ivory Oak

This dresser is a lot nicer than what I expected and it's made in he USA.It was delivered in two big heavy boxes and you need two adults to put this together. There are a lot of pieces to assemble and some were not labeled. It came with all the hardware, you need screwdrivers and a hammer to put this together. The instructions are pictures only and at times it was confusing and vague. Some of the pieces the holes did not line up or the holes were not drilled through all the way. This took us two hours and forty minutes to put the dresser together. The pieces are well made and very sturdy nothing is flimsy. It comes with two different sets of knobs so you can pick which ones you want. Some of the drawers did not line up well in the dresser and the legs of the dresser are plastic. The back of the dresser is cardboard. The drawers are sturdy and a good size,there is six drawers. Once it is all together it is very heavy and it looks nice. There was no missing parts but it was a pain to put together. It has a strong chemical smell and we put it in the garage to air out. I recommend this product but it will take a lot of your time.

This dresser kit comes in 2 VERY heavy boxes containing a total of 352 pieces. You really need 2 strong, able-bodied adults to put this together, and 6-8 hours to assemble. Seriously. And a power drill with screwdriver bits is HIGHLY recommended. Building experience is a plus as the illustrated instructions aren't terribly easy to understand. The 200+ pieces of different hardware come all mixed together in one bag. You'll definitely need to sort them all out before beginning because it's easy to get some pieces mixed up during the build. I had a few extra of some hardware, but was 4 screws short and had to purchase from the hardware store. The chipboard pieces for the dresser aren't all clearly marked. You'll want to figure them out and sort before building. The paint job on the chipboard is pretty good. There were only two minor, barely noticeable, small chips in the paint. The ombre pink drawer fronts are much prettier in person than photos. I'm not a big fan of pink, but I like the look of this dresser. You might notice from my photo of the finished dresser that there's a slight gap above the top drawers, and the larger drawer on the right side doesn't sit quite level. I knew during building this would happen because I noticed the pilot holes for that drawer tract were slightly off level. But there was no way to correct it. The drawer bottoms are laminated heavy cardboard, and the wider drawers have a chipboard brace below the center for extra support. The finished dresser seems quite sturdy except for one thing. The dresser's legs are hollow plastic. If you ever have to move the dresser, even just an inch or two, I definitely wouldn't scoot it; I'd be afraid the legs would snap off. Lift & carry, don't scoot! There's also an oddly placed 5th leg (you might be able to see in my photo) which, to me, detracts from the aesthetics. It may be necessary for support, but it would look better had they put it in the front and added a 6th leg lined up with it along the back. One odd design element I can't understand is the depth of the drawers is 6-inches shorter than the depth of the dresser. So there's 6 inches off dead space between the back of the drawers and the back of the dresser. Why didn't they make the drawers 5-6 inches deeper? Had I gotten this dresser pre-built, I'd have rated it 5-stars. But the engineering could have been better, and an 8-hour build time without power tools did me and my helper in.
