The outside is beautiful. But the inside is mediocre (at best) quality.
Size
This is a large piece of furniture, which I knew and wanted. But I wish the drawer boxes could be deeper, considering the overall size of the dresser. The large drawers are about 5.5” high and the small ones are 3.5”.
Wood Quality
The outer solid wood is gorgeous and there’s lots of variation in tone. BUT this dresser is NOT completely solid wood. The drawer boxes are plywood. Thankfully another review mentioned this, so I knew what to expect. Unfortunately, the plywood isn’t fully clear cabinet grade (there are holes filled with wood filler or not filled at all). And it’s not sanded completely smooth,
so fabric catches on it. They also didn’t use edge banding (or another method) to hide the stripe-y plies. So I will have to find ways to fix the texture and appearance.
Functionality
Most of the slides are great, but it’s difficult to access nearly 6 inches of space at the back of the drawers. Why Because they don’t use full extension slides. Also, some don’t slide smoothly. I think it’s because they use knobs instead of pulls, so the uneven force of pulling on one knob makes it hitch. I’ll have to replace the slides and the knobs.
This dresser is superficially beautiful, but I’m disappointed that I’ll have to invest more time and money to fix things that shouldn’t have been a problem for the amount we pay. Hopefully, they can improve the quality for others in the future.
