In the end though, it is fairly attractive and fulfills our need for extra storage in the guest bedroom. I only gave it this rating because, while it feels sturdy (as in not needing to be anchored to the wall) the drawers are not very evenly spaced when you look at it from the front. That means the holes were not pre-punched evenly, which is a shame. The price was good, but be prepared to spend 8 hours on assembling this puppy!

The mail carrier dropped the large box at my door w/o knocking. Which was usual. I just happened to be home and heard them drive off. When I got the package off my porch, I noticed the the entire bottom was soaked with water. I opened the package up and found that many of the pieces were water damaged. <br/><br/>I know I probably should just send it back, but I'm nine months pregnant, and just wanted to get the nursery DONE! So, I let the pieces dry and put them together, hoping it wouldn't be so bad. <br/><br/>Even without the water damage though, I think this dresser is EXACTLY what you pay for. It is cheap and not so pleasing to the eyes. While putting it together, there was difficulty with some screws fitting in the holes (or absent holes) that ended up leaving ugly markings through some of the pieces, only noticeable from the inside of the drawers. Still, not a sign of quality furniture. And not really what I had in mind. <br/><br/>The small-sized drawers did not fit nicely in the base once completed. They all look unevenly spaced. I'm sure I could try and reset each to make them look better... but, that's gonna take some freetime, that I just don't have now. Not to mention, it needs a fresh coat of paint b/c of the water damage. <br/><br/>I've actually recently purchase a comparable children's furniture set at Target (Delaney line in white or honey oak) for my older child's room and found it BY FAR better quality and easier to assemble, for very close to the same price! I would strongly recommend that set over this one. Well, first I need to say that the dresser was shipped by AMAZON via UPS. The mail carrier dropped the large box at my door w/o knocking.
