Best Dressers & Chests With Reviews

Arrived on time even during this pandemic and election shenanigans. The entire thing arrived in one giant box, so be warned if you live in a second floor apartment. I had to open the box outside and carry it piece by piece up my stairs haha. I'm a 24 yr old woman and I assembled the whole thing myself with no major issues. It took maybe 4 hours total but I took a break in between so I'm not sure. It's very sturdy even without the wall stabilizer. I got it in black and I didn't notice any significant blemishes with the wood, but to be fair I wasn't looking too hard. My main priorities were storage and stability, and it does both great. I put my 40 inch roku tv on it and it hasn't collapsed yet. The only disappointing thing is that the bottom of the drawers are cardboard. I really wished they were totally wooden. Otherwise, a great functional dresser.

Look 1010 beautiful dresser, looks just as pictured ( i got the wooden one) Assembly 910 I could have built the entire thing on my own (probably would have taken 4 hours though lol). The entire thing is made out of wood, it wasn’t difficult at all, with everything being labeled and went by quickly with a drill. HOWEVER, one point is knocked off simply because the wood is VERY SOFT, if you don’t drill straight a chunk will come off (luckily this only happened on the inside). It is easy to make ding up while assembling, so BE EXTRA CAREFUL! Functionality 1010 is is beautiful and I recommend this 100, the drawers are deeper than my last wayfair dresser, and the wood tracks have not been an issue at all. Tip In the directions it says to put wooden dowels into the drawer and the track to keep you from accidentally sliding it all the way out... however if you do decide to do that you will only be able to open the drawer 25 which makes it difficult to see what is in the drawer, let alone fill the drawer. I recommend either not using the wooden dowels and being mindful when opening, or making new holes further back in the drawer and using the dowels so you can open it to its full capacity with no risk. Overall 1010 product. It is beautiful, got very minor scrapes and dings when putting together, not noticeable. I don’t have an issue with wooden tracks and have yet to pull a drawer COMPLETELY out when not having the dowels in. It works GREAT!

I want to start by saying that overall, the dresser is great. The solid wood material is really what I wanted for more durability over the cheaper dressers you can find. This specific dresser helped me a lot because I was having trouble finding a long dresser with these dimensions without it being too long (I had no room for much longer). Now onto the dresser itself. I built this by myself and it took me some time, but the directions were pretty clear so most of the time was the tedious part of repeating the same steps for sections. I had a little trouble at one point for one of the screws, but that's really about it in terms of trouble. everything fits nicely and the package came completely undamaged (was packed well). I was even able to use the dresser without putting on the legs because I didn't want the extra 5+ inches on it. If you want to do that too I would recommend being careful as some screw heads do slightly stick out of the bottom. It sits perfectly fine, but it could scratch your floor if you aren't careful when moving it since it is designed to have the legs on. Make sure of that and you'll be fine. I really only gave it 4 stars because I'm a little concerned over 2 things. The first being that, even though just about the entire dresser is solid wood, the bottom of each drawer is still a decently thin piece of bendable material. It's thicker than most other dressers I've seen, but I still worry about it giving out. I reinforced it with wood glue and I won't abuse it, but that worry is still there. The second, and biggest reason (still not that bad) is that the drawer "stops" are simple wooden dowels, which I don't like. Since the drawers work on wood slides and not plastic or metal roller tracks, the way to keep the drawers from falling out when pulled is they have you insert wooden dowels to act as stoppers at the front of the track and back of the drawer. The instructions tell you to to make sure the drawer dowel is flush with the drawer, but if you do that, there is no way for you to take the drawer out without purposely breaking the dowels, which means you can't use them when putting the drawers back in. In order to get around this I only put the dowels in about half way so I can use pliers to take them out if I ever need to remove the drawers for any reason. If you don't think you will ever need to do that then this shouldn't be a problem as long as, like everything else, you don't abuse it by yanking on the drawers as the dowels will definitely break. I have only had the dresser for about a week, but if anything negative changes over the next few months I will come back and update. As of right now, it's great.

I purchased 2 of these dressers in caramel for my bedroom, and I am very satisfied with the product for the price (which was under $200 ea). First, both arrived early and came expertly packaged. There was no damage to any piece and no missing parts! Second, these do take a while to put together (2 hours ea for me): there are many pieces and hardware. But the instructions are great, the pieces are all prepped properly (numbered, holes drilled properly, etc.), they fit together perfectly, and assembly is intuitive if you've ever put furniture together before. Tip: I didn't use power tools as the instructions directed, but wear gloves! My fingers were raw half-way through from so many screws. The dressers have a weighted/anti-tipping feature I have never seen before, which makes the boxes incredibly heavy. But it seems to work. My dressers are very stable once assembled. The drawers also have this nifty little dowel design so the drawers won't fall out when you fully pull them. I read some reviews that said the drawers were all hard to pull out. Not mine all six of my drawers slide out with one finger. It seems some of the complaints may have been assembly issues? So, things I noticed: The wood is VERY soft, pine, I think. And the finish is pretty thin and looks like it will wear off rather easily. The bottoms of the drawers and back of the dresser are particle board so the piece cannot float in a room. This dresser is not gonna last forever, and would not live up to heavy use, by say, a boy or moving often. But for someone who is easy on furniture, I highly recommend. The 2 dressers give me more storage than night stands and have a great mid-century look! Great product for the money! UPDATE July 2022: I've been using these daily for 2 years(?) and they look as good as the day I purchased them. Very happy with product.

Let's start with delivery - Note: this comes in just one box - without a dolly, it would have been a pain for me to get into the house. It arrived on time but with a hole/tear in the the narrow side/corner of the box. A three layer foam sandwich of a 'packaging cushion' was visible. This caused some concern but the packaging mostly did its job. There was very minor damage (inch long and less than 1/4" wide) to the white finish on the bottom back corner of one side. I had an old bottle of 'White Out' in my desk which covered the damage well enough. The instructions are all pictures and seemed clear enough to me. The only thing that I would add to them relates to the blue plastic expanding connectors. It would be easy to snug them up without fully 'popping' the bottoms. I believe that the extra quarter turn after snugging them to firm is very important to insure solid assembly. I didn't time the assembly, I had the luxury of doing it on and off over a couple days but it will take a while (especially if you are doing it alone and taking the time to use wood glue to make it a more solid/permanent piece.) The finish chest looks good, seems solid, and includes anti tip hardware so it can be attached to the wall to presumably prevent unsupervised children from tipping it over on themselves. Note, the draws have 25 lb limits and the top has a 35 lb limit. 3-5 years down the road these limits might be forgotten...so presuming the failure point will be the masonite drawer bottom (and not the drawer slides) I will be looking for something at the hardware store or lumber yard to provide a bit of added support to masonite drawer bottoms and hopifully prevent them from sagging. Price value. OK, I must disclose that I'm a grumpy old man who has no love lost for 'engineered wood'. Bah humbug, it is all garbage. That being said this was purchased for a family member with a $100-$200 budget. So I spent a lot of time searching various vendors and considerably more time reading/evaluating reviews. I selected this unit based on the large number of reviews, the high % of positive reviews, and the low number of negatives (which sometimes had nothing to do with the quality of the finished product.) If you're on a budget this seems like a good choice.

I’m giving it five star because the dresser was packaged very well ! It’s a beautiful dresser ! But .... two issues..... I purchased this item November 16, 2019. The money was taken off my debit card , but item kept saying processing . The day after Thanksgiving I called to ask about the issue . I was told that it was a billing issue that’s why it hasn’t been delivered . If I never would have called , I would not have known . Lastly , I paid extra to have it put in my bedroom. Which is ridiculous to me , but I paid it . Once they left , my sister and I opened the box. The dresser was facing the wrong way . Just imagine two women having to pick up the dresser and turn it around the correct way . It took an hour to turn it and make sure we didn’t damage it . It was a reason that I paid extra to have it placed in a certain room . The dresser is beautiful, but I don’t know if I ever want to order big furniture from them again . The experience was horrible .

Could not be happier with this purchase! Honestly, I was apprehensive about ordering furniture online. Not anymore. I ordered both the 5 drawer and 9 drawer dressers in the distressed pine color. I originally intended to just get the 9 drawer, but I caught both on sale plus an add'l 15% off, so it was a good time to get both pieces. Customer service was outstanding....received emails informing me of ship date, delivery, etc. The night before delivery I recv'd a personal phone call to confirm everything, and after delivery recv'd another call to see how delivery went. I was totally impressed with the whole process. The products were exactly as pictured, and arrived in perfect shape (extremely well packaged). I'm thrilled with the all wood construction as I have purchased similar items that were pressed particle board for about the same cost, and they didn't last. Both items are sturdy and well built. Yes, some of the drawers are a little stiff to operate, but nothing major. I lined several of the drawers with felt applied w/ spray adhesive to prevent any snagging (see picture). Wish a couple of the drawers were a little deeper but with so many of them I wont lack for storage space. Love the height of the 9 drawer! Exactly what I was looking for. One last thing I want to point out is that I was skeptical about the 'salvaged wood'. I was stressing that it would be so rough that I wouldn't be able to dust it (not that I actually dust, mind you), but the dressers have a nice waxed finish so dusting will not be a problem. You get all that primitive, irregular, farm house style while getting a nice finished piece.

For the price, I am very happy with this dresser. I didn't want to spend a lot, and I didn't want typical cheap MDF furniture that requires assembly. This was a good in between. It is sturdy, has a nice look, and I love the hardware. It arrived undamaged and packaged VERY well. All I had to do was turn the handles around and it was ready to go . The appearance is distressed, which I like as my kids are using it and we live in a beach house which suits the look well. It also has a rough texture that I was surprised, but not bothered by. The drawbacks are that the inside drawer wood is splintery and soft pine, and they are a bit shallow. Now that we are done with the removing and reinserting of the drawers (which, btw, is best accomplished by pulling it all the way to the end gently and then giving it a slight pull and jiggle and it will come out- don't be too rough or the rubber clip on the end may break) the drawers wood issue is not so much a problem- though one does make a scraping sound and I may have to sand it down or something. It is fantastic to look at and beautiful!

Dresser (white) is very attractive, made of solid wood, and is sturdy. Don't understand why drawers are only 13" deep, when dresser is 18" deep -- seems drawers could be 16" deep to maximize storage space. I definitely recommend paying the extra fee for "room of choice" delivery because this is a heavy piece. The overall customer service was not good at all. I ordered the lingerie chest, media chest, and nightstand in addition to the dresser. Original order didn't arrive in the timeframe indicated, causing a significant delay in delivery due to my schedule. When finally delivered, two of the four pieces were damaged -- in the front where very visible. Redelivery took another month and again one of the 2 pieces was damaged in the front. Redelivery took yet another month, and finally, after my having escalated the problem twice, the packing was increased and at last, I received an undamaged piece. Beginning to end, this took 4 1/2 months and took way too much customer effort to get this furniture successfully in my home. Throughout this whole experience, I was told this is a rare experience. Not so for me -- this was my 3rd order from Wayfair and it was also the 3rd time things didn't happen right the first time items were delivered....so this "rare" experience constitutes 100% of my personal experience. Yes, the furniture is now successfully in my home in good condition, but not without a lot of disappointment in the customer service process. When all was said and done, although the furniture is nice, instead of being excited, I'm just relieved that it's over!

Not bad for the price. This chest is fairly well made and sturdy. It's taller than the old chest I was using which I Iike. The drawers are not very deep, but there are five drawers, so it still worked for me. The color looks more mossy green than grey and some of the finish came off on my carpet when I was moving it. I think it will come up with the vacuum or if need be, the steamer, but I thought it was odd as the finish looks good on the piece and there wasn't a stickiness or a residue when handling the piece. I had to take this upstairs on my own and it took some effort, but I did it without too much trouble. Just so you know...it's heavy. Some of the hardware was put on crooked, but that can be adjusted without any trouble. Delivery was timely and there was no damage. It wouldn't pass for an expensive piece of furniture, but it is attractive and suits my purpose.

I ordered this thinking it was blue, I mean look at the picture! It came grey and after looking at the description found it plainly says grey. I guess the photo is accurate because it has a bluish undertown in some lights. It is for 9 year old who will have it for a long time so I guess grey is better anyway and he already has a lot of blue in his room. My wife assembled but had be me screw in the little wood screws for the hinges with a drill (just don't strip them) because there are no pre drilled holes. The screws are small and sharp and you can do it by hand but there are a lot. take your time to line the drawer slides up perfectly because it will affect how the drawers line up and operate (it's easy, but take your time). if any drawers catch as you open and close them you have a little of a screw head sticking out, probably due to it not being screwed in straight. There are extra holes in the metal slides if you mess up. On some pre assembled furniture the drawers are all crooked and don't slide well from poor installation of the slides.

Let me start by saying I looked at several dressers on here before deciding on this one. It was purchased, along with a bed frame and desk, as part of a remodel for my 11 year old son's room. I chose it because it was the height and color we were looking for. It was also affordable and nice styling. Shipping was fast and we were excited to get his room going. That's where the excitement ends. The box shows up and it a nursery baby box. I was worried that I was getting a baby sized dresser. I read and recorded the measurements from the site so I thought I received the wrong package. I did not. Upon opening the box there were several pieces (as expected). Most of them were labeled but a lot were not. This made for some confusion on what was what. The hardware was packaged nicely and labeled correctly so that is a plus. Once we started assembling this thing, I was so frustrated! The directions are terrible! They way they put the photos and how you have to connect things do not make sense! Both my husband and I are handy (I have woodworking experience) but this thing was a nightmare to put together. Several times we had to take pieces off due to the terrible instructions. It took about 3 hours to complete. Insane if you ask me. Overall the finished product is nice. It was what we wanted. I would just suggest to anyone considering purchasing one, spend the extra money for the professional assembly so you don't have the same problems we did.

The dresser was such a project- there are many steps to follow but if you do it slowly and correctly, you'll end up with a beautiful end-result. A beautiful dresser that is sturdy and dependable. Let me hightlight the things that made my assembly experience easy and enjoyable to follow. Every plastic bag is labeled with a number. Whoever put together the assembly instructions were wise enough to label the bags. Every tiny piece that is used for the assembly feels sturdy and not cheap. The components are very functional and easy to work with. Pro Tip: To make your life easier, invest $100 and get yourself a rechargeable screwdriver like what I have shown in my photos but adjust the torque setting to a real low number like 2 or 3lbs otherwise you'll end-up breaking the screws. There are parts in the instructions where they want you to stand the dresser up and if you do, please take caution and avoid leaning or putting any pressure on the pieces as once they break, it will tear right through the MDF wood and you'll have a terrible time trying to figure out how to keep it together. Overall, it was a fun little project that I put together for my daughter. The 6 shelves are more than enough to store her shirts and other pieces of clothing. This dresser was one of many other furnitures that I ended up purchasing from Wayfair that was going to be used to furnish my new home. I have other reviews to share and I hope the information I have will be helpful for all.

I originally purchased a bedroom set from Ashley’s and had a terrible experience. I was so scared to purchase from Wayfair because of what my boyfriend and I had gone through with Ashley’s. But now after we’ve got our first two pieces put together. I don’t regret my decision! Assembly was terrible maybe because we are not handy men but it literally took us 6 hours to put the dresser together. We still have to add the hardware too. The instructions were a little unclear so that’s why it took us a while. But we got it done and we love it! It’s solid wood and durable for the most part. It is pine wood, a cheaper version of solid wood but if you take care of it, it can definitely last. The drawers aren’t really deep so if you have a lot of stuff, this may not be for you. But overall it works perfect for us! We purchased the matching chests and king bed. I will be doing reviews on those as well. Over-all great purchase for a couple who’s living together for the first time who wanted something affordable but durable.

We like them a lot, they look nice and hold a lot of clothing! However, there are gaps between the drawers… they are all on rails. They do roll smooth; but, There are not any shelf between 4 of the drawers. It is not that bad to put together. I loved that I could download the PDF, and print the directions, prior to receiving my dressers. -It was suggested that we have a carpenters Square; but we did not need it. -It was also suggested that we did not use an electric screw driver… But there are a lot places where there were not predrilled holes. We were gentle with the screw driver, and only used it to get the Screws started. Most all of the A1 screws, did not have predrilled holes. The instructions are AMAZING. They are easy to follow. We did use glue on most all of the dowels, that was not supplied. WE also purchased custom knobs. If you are purchasing customer knobs.. the Drawer Depth is 3/4 of an inch. The hardware that comes with the dressers is nice quality. The screws that hold the knobs are size M4 x 25. I also love that they give you extra hardware. If you get a bad part, odds are you will have a replacement. The one shelf that goes between, #17.. we had put it in upside down, by accident; but only had noticed after we had the top secure. If this happens to you, it does not matter. When they say they suggest it as a Two Person Build.. they mean it. Ask for Help! I tried, to build it on my own; but that was a horrible experience. I have built a lot of crazy things, on my own. I recommend HELP! The drawers are a little rough inside. If you are not going to sand the and paint them.. I recommend drawer paper, or removable shelf liners. They are Solid. It is Pine, and they are not easy to mar; but you need to be a little careful. Overall, we are really happy with them. The gaps are the only reason why I took off a star. I can see why they did it.

I love this dresser! The color is a lot darker in person, but I didn’t mind that. I wanted nearly black, and that is exactly what I got. Pls keep in mind that in most lightings this dresser’s color (merlot) just looks like solid black, with a slight reddishpurple undertone to it. I think it’s lovely. Comes fully assembled in a giant box, connected to a huge solid-wood, half-pallet type of thing. Packaging kept the piece very protected, no damage received before nor during shipping, there were def no angry delivery drivers throwing this thing around in transit! lol It’s very heavy, so be prepared for that when you need to move it around after delivery. It’s made from solid wood, every piece of it, which is also exactly what I wanted. The price back when I purchased mine {in around early to mid 2020} was excellent—especially in comparison to prices now! Whew! Anyway it’s a fabulous purchase, you can’t go wrong with it. No effort required to put it together, it already comes fully assembled, just have to switch the drawer knobspulls to the right way around they put them in backwards to avoid damage to them or the drawer fronts during transit. If you can afford it, like this lookstyle, are wanting a (seemingly rare nowadays) high quality solid-wood dresser wzero assembly req… then by all means… go for it!! Tbh, it’s kind of a no-brainer. LOL ‍♀️ Enjoy.

The quality is outstanding! This was 10 times better quality than any other dresser I've ever bought. I was a little disappointed that the knobs weren't brushed silver, I thought they looked like it from the picture. Other than that small irrelevant issue this was "exactly what I need". Lol I would have to say assembly was not to bad neither. Other than having them put it together I don't see how it could have been easier. Everything that they could have put on from the factory they did. The rest is up to you and with the instructions given makes it easy. Parts well bagged and marked for easy assembly. The unit is well shipped to protect from damaged goods. Job well done Wayfair! This is the second item I have purchased with them and both have exceeded my expectations by far! Their quality products are great! Highly recommend for anyone who knows "you get what you pay for." The products aren't cheaply priced but so worth it for the quality you get!

The instructions were easy to follow and everything came in great condition. The assembly was a little difficult for me (I’m a petite woman), I was speeding through the steps and had to re-assemble a few times.. oops. My drawers aren’t correctly in place. Either the top drawer is too low or the second drawer is set too high. I can’t move one without moving the other. Not a big issue to me. The dresser is definitely meant for light or small items. It doesn’t have the best depth or space for something like jeans. It’s suitable for kids clothes or undergarments. It would fit great inside a modest size closet. Be careful with the actual pieces. I cut myself a few times screwing in the metal bars under the drawers.

This dresser has good and bad points, and they are as follows: THE GOOD: 1. I LOVE this dresser. 2. It's very pretty, and has a vintage country kind of look. 3. It's a great value price. 4. It's SO heavy, very sturdy; not about to tip over. 5. It's a great size, very big, holds lots of stuff; and it's a little taller than your average horizontal dresser. 6. Lots more good things but can't think of anything right now. 7. Oh wait here's one...the directions are SO GOOD, even I was able to assemble the entire thing all by myself, which I'm very proud of, because I typically suck at furniture assembly. THE NOT SO GOOD: 1. This thing is so stinkin heavy, there's no way I could get the box inside the house. At one point it was stuck in my doorway and I just had to leave it there while I opened the box and then took each individual piece out and carried them upstairs one by one. So so so heavy. You need like 3 people to lift the box if that's the route your going. 2. You have to assemble the whole entire thing yourself, drawers and all. And it takes an entire evening and probably a whole bottle of wine and a pizza to get thru it. But the directions are very good, so if you can read, you're golden. It was actually relaxing. Ha. 3. It's like a pressed wood/particle board type of wood laminate, which is not my fave, but it does look like real wood when it's all assembled. 4. It seems like it may scratch easily which is no biggy since most of my decor is rustic and distressed anyhoo. 5. Now that it's assembled, it can like literally never be moved downstairs again because the dang thing is soooooo heavy. I can barely scoot it across the carpet to get it into place. Overall I am very happy with this dresser. Like it a lot! I'd buy it again even after all the work of moving it and putting it together. Love the look of it.

Short story: great quality buy / nightmare to get Long story: My dresser took “a good while” to get to me because it was called from the wrong warehouse originally. I ordered it on Nov 11, 2-day shipping included, and it got pushed back and was due to ship slowly- arriving Nov 21, the day before Thanksgiving when I wasn’t in town. Wayfair offered me $60 off to keep the order, but I had to cancel as I wouldn’t be home. I still wanted/needed it though and I saw it was reduced in price on Cyber Monday, Nov 26th- so I decided to order it again (again “2-day”) after persistent requesting they give me the $60 off that they offered. Case worker wanted to give me only 10% off and said the $60 was only to not cancel, but I pushed and got it as a “one time thing” (even one of Wayfair’s customer support said that request sounded completely reasonable) and then it turned out to be back ordered... and when it was shipping out, Dec 7th, it was like 5-day fedex ground...? I had to call to get it to be expedited shipping which wasn’t cool to not automatically do since it was so late and was supposed to be 2-day shopping. Money over the customer experience... smh But now that it- finally- arrived, Dec 10th: - I really really like it. It did come with one part dented in from poor packaging and shipping, but I hid that against the wall and ultimately the quality is great for the price. Handy, the service that purchase/add to your order to get to help put it together when it arrives, pushed my appointment back 5 days, Dec 17th to the 22nd, after canceling on me 45 minutes before they were supposed to show up- so I had to call and get refunded from Wayfair and my stepfather and I did it in about an hour. He even remarked that it was a really high-quality dresser and that the construction was well done. The bottom of the drawers have a support beam underneath so your clothes won’t warp. Moral? Fight for the things/well-priced dressers you believe in.
