GARVEE 7 Drawer Vintage Dresser with Metal Handles, MDF Board, Ample Storage, Anti-Rewind Tape, for Bedroom, Living Room

Very nice one put together, takes a long time to put together(took us like 5 hours). Some pieces were a little damaged like a corner being chipped but once done u can’t see them. The dresser is pretty tho and worth the money

Looked far and wide for a dresser of exactly these dimensions and shape (ability to slide over the baseboard and still sit flush to the wall).This is a mixed fiberboard and wood dresser. There's no surprise here at this price point. If you're unlucky, it gets severely damaged in shipping. I was lucky, zero shipping damage.The shipment and construction of this furniture is more or less identical to IKEA flat pack furniture, so you can expect hundreds of small dowels, screws, and camlocks. Similarly to IKEA, you can absolutely expect a little bit of play in the build quality. Do it the right way, build it once and expect never to take it apart - use a ton of wood glue. Like a ton. Use it on the dowels. Use it in every predrilled hole. Put it on the screws. Where there are no predrilled holes, put in your screw then back it out and add glue to it. Put way too much glue on every mated surface. Even put glue on the entire backside of the piece where the back panel is attached - this is ultimately the last and most important part of a dresser like this when it comes to keeping it super sturdy.For the price I think it's hard to do better.Cons:The front faces of the drawers is *very* thin, at only 1/4" thickness on the panels.Drawer bottoms are extremely thin; when I build my owndrawers , I use at least 1/4" panels. The panels that come with this dresser are 3/16" or thinner. I can already tell they will sag with anything heavier than clothing.The majority of the fiberboard construction is 1/2" or lessI received a mix of parts ranging from MDF to pressed fiber, even among the exact same parts. Some would be MDF some would be pressed fiber. Really odd.The hardware is rather cheap. The rails are definitely a major failure / performance issue. The drawers do not close reliably or perfectly. Like the drawers, probably OK with just clothing. Will still probably need to be replaced in the future just to maintain my sanity. The pulls are subpar, but at least very easy to replace with an option of your own.Gaps - there are a ton of gaps in the assembly and in the preformed parts. Drawer faces all have varying obvious gappage between stiles, rails, and face panels. There's a lot of room for finishing this at home. Easy fix would be to carefully apply an acrylic super white caulk, big time sink but will really help with the appeal. I found quite a lot of gaps as well in the structural assembly, in places that should be weight bearing / would allow for the piece to rack freely if enough force were applied. Easy fix, have a package of very fine shims as you assemble and fill the gaps along the way. This will tremendously improve the sturdiness of the piece.The legs - worst part of the entire piece. They are NOT wood, they are *hollow plastic* with a central support column contained within. If you kick this leg or bang it on something, there's a good chance you'll crack it. At least it gives you an opportunity to also replace the legs in the future.Pros:Surprisingly solid, heavy bottom and top.Paint job was surprisingly adequate at this price point, though you might want to add a final coat yourself to really make the piece pop. I only found a few small spots where there was a touch of missed coverage.Unique sizing and shape gives more possibilities for fitting this dresser into less than usual situationsValue - excellent value. With a little extra attention you can make this dresser sturdy and fit for use for years. At a glance it looks pretty decent, and nobody would guess it was around $200.I'll probably be keeping this for a long, long time, and replace hardware as I see fit. Happy with what I got, much better than expected.

Didn’t realize what a large project this would be when first purchased. Started off with just a screwdriver, but a drill is definitely necessary. A majority of the tracks that came with the materials for the drawers were already bent and forced 2-3 of the drawers to keep from fully closing unfortunately. This may be able to be fixed later. The instructions were a bit too vague and pictures too small at times. Overall, I am satisfied with the end result but not thrilled.

I knew this would take longer to assemble than was stated and its not for the faint of heart! It comes in about 30 pieces plus multiple screws, etc. My husband is very good at this and it took him 3 hours.... but I love it and the savings was worth it!

Be prepared to put a MILLION pieces together. Other than that it is as expected. And tall enough to put your changing pad on top so you’re not breaking your back.
