Modus Furniture Brighton 7-Drawer Chest, Cinnamon

Modus Furniture Brighton 7-Drawer Chest, CinnamonBeyond the center drawer having a visible nick in it where the finish chipped off, the huge problem with this unit are rails that are aggressively designed to extend fully and carry the full weight of the drawer. Problem is they are under-under engineered. Withiin two weeks three drawers are broken, one out of the box. The large drawers that are broken shudder from left to right when opening due to a rail mechanism that is loose and small. No tightening is possible. One drawer already sags (with only lady sweaters in the drawer). I have told my wife to never extend the drawers completely, but she won't follow instructions so this will likely last a couple years at best at a lifetime purchase price. Out of the box the left top jewelry drawer is mal-designed. I have to use all my 6' 200lb strenght to open it. No visible reason, again something to do with rail structure. THIS is the problem of internet large item purchases; in this case it is obvious they knew they had a dud (possibly consumer rejected and returned already) they drop the price a bit and stick someone with it.. Good luck returning this once unboxed. About 200lbs and needs to be on a special plat to raise the weight off the short legs. Just too much hassle when we work all the time to return. This experience is a one star, but I give two because nice visual design. But the workmanship is lacking QC. I am sure they are not all broke out of box, but use extreme caution buying rails mai-designed and under engineered for their purpose.

Most important thing to note is that the finish is darker than pictured; doesn't have that brassy look that the picture shows. Top drawers are lined in velvet-like material. Drawers glide easily and extend fully without being removed/falling out. Very solid construction. Good attention to detail, eg. finish applied evenly, joints line up, nothing is crooked or cheap-looking/feeling. Also, the inside of the drawers is the same color and finish as the outside. I would recommend it to anyone, but do yourself a favor and get full-service delivery (ie. delivered to room of your choice, unpacked, and packing materials removed); it's very heavy and was a tremendous pain to unpack by myself. Regardless, I absolutely love it.

Drawers glide smoothly, wood is gorgeous, rich color. Very happy with the purchase. If I were to nitpick -the top drawers are a little hard to pull out. Not sure if it is the knob handles or just the newness. I expect this to become easier the more I use them.

The Brighton 7-drawer chest is a great size, holds a lot of clothes. I like the way it looks too. The drawer sliders work very well, though because of them the drawers are actually slightly smaller than my old drawers. However, having 7 drawers makes up for that. I like antiques, and this fits in with my other furniture quite well.

Wonderful price. Of course not the finest piece of furniture since the back is not made of wood. On the other hand, it would weigh too much if it were all made up of the heavy wood. My husband and I didn't have a problem carrying it in after removing the drawers; just googled to find out how to take them out and then how to put them back in. The color is darker than the picture, but I quite like it. It's great that it has no particle board in it...Seems sturdy and should last.

I had already owned the queen size sleigh bed and awesome night stands with the pull out shelf, so I was very excited to get this dresser. It's beautiful all wood and heavy!!! Definitely pay for the additional white glove service if available. Unless you have a bunch of strong men handy, these are solidly built. I am elated with the quality, for an amazing price.
