Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First off, there are a lot of negative reviews related to chips, scratches, and damage to the product. This is a complaint directed to the method and treatment during delivery and not the product itself. Ignore them. The product is properly packed to withstand reasonable bumps during delivery. It would be nice if it had paper between the boards, but in my examination it is not necessary as the veneer is durable and the packing is tight enough that there is minimal movement. There are also a lot of negative comments in reviews about the amount of time. I am relatively good with tools and assembly took me about 2 hours. That said, this is not high quality furniture. It's cheap and you get what you pay for. Except for one piece, all parts are all particle board with a paper printed veneer. They are delicate until assembled and relatively strong after. The hardware is cheap but functional. Metal slides and plastic handles. That are not top notch but they do the job. Importantly, the pre drilled holes are accurate and reliable. I do fault the assembly for the particle board drawer bottoms. They are thin and will work fine for light duty, but any weight and there will be issues. Clothes are fine, but a rock collection is not. The instructions are no nonsense but reasonable. If you have any missing screws ( I did not) they are detailed in the instructions and an equivalent is common at the hardware store. I deviated from the instructions in a several key ways: First, predrilled holes for screws on the sides of the dresser are not countersunk. I wanted the screw heads flush so I modified it. Second, those screws are meant to pull the sides into the dividers for tight assembly. Do not rely on the screws to do the work. It's just particle board and it will strip. Best advice is to use a clamp to pull them tight, then screw together. Third, the dowels are nylon. Durable, but I replaced with wood dowels and glued them for additional strength. Lastly, most of the surfaces are veneer but for any wood to wood I added glue for extra strength. 4/5 stars because it would not have been much expense for better hardware.
