South Shore Summer Breeze Collection 6-Drawer Double Dresser, Chocolate

South Shore Summer Breeze Collection 6-Drawer Double Dresser, ChocolateThis dresser seemed like a great investment when we bought it, however, after about 1 month of LIGHT use (we only use it for PJs, shorts, PTs, and underwear all light things), the drawers have started breaking. At first we thought the first drawer was because of something that we did wrong, but now that 2 more drawers have broken, as well, one of which only had a couple of sleep pants and t-shirts in it, we know that there is no way we could have messed up building 3 separate drawers, with a 4th drawer beginning to fall into it's lower partner. I do not recommend buying this is you want it to last more than a month!

I bought this dresser online without seeing it. It took quite a while to assemble (2 hours or so). It looks really pretty but the quality of the material is closer to the cheaper side. The material on the top of the dresser is very sensitive to water. I put a bowl on it once that wasn't very dry at the bottom and the stains are still there weeks later, so try not to use any water on it. The top left drawer is very stubborn and not so easy to open and close for some reason. I am not sure if it's a problem with the pieces themselves or if we assembled it wrong, but I think it's a fault with the materials because all the other drawers are perfectly fine. The colour is white but it has streaks of very very light pink/off white, so if you are picky about all the furniture pieces matching and being white, I would see it in person first before buying it to make sure you like it.

The dresser is simply beautiful and I really enjoy how the drawers open up. It is very elegant. It is exactly what I was looking for. Yes, I put it all together by myself as a woman. The directions are very clear! The only disappointing factor that almost made me return it, was the chipped corner of the top. I initially thought it was due to careless delivery because the dresser is heavy, however, the chipped corner was glued back onto the top. I definitely do not think it was the delivery, so please examine all the parts before putting it all together because I did not. The top piece was one of the last pieces to make this dresser whole and I only saw it when I stood the dresser up. I used the marker that came with the parts to cover the cracks of the glued corner and it is ok, but I know it is there! So, I am not pulling it apart to return it. Otherwise, it is a beautiful piece in my bedroom.

I probably looked at about a hundred dressers and went to about ten different stores. I was shocked and annoyed at how pricey composite freakin' wood could be! I wanted something that looked good and matched my other furniture but was under $150 and I found it. The key is assembly. I assembled it myself and it took almost a full day. If I had used some wood glue and a couple of extra nails this thing would be sturdy as all get out. Follow the directions carefully. The drawers slide in and out with quiet ease. The only negative thing I can say about the dresser is that it does chip easily but I've had it a few months without incident. Other than that it's fantastic.
