I bought this dresser when I was furnishing a new apartment. I decided on this one because I liked the cherry look and it didn't look as crappy as the other cheaper dressers.I'm no carpenter, so I can't really make comments regarding which part of the dresser is made out of what kind of wood.
The dresser came preassembled in a large cardboard box with lots of styrofoam padding. It also came with a dresser hook that you can put into a wall to prevent tipping of the dresser. So I used a box cutter to cut the box and removed all of the padding, then had a friend help me move it into my bedroom. It looks nice with the rest of my cherry set in there.
The handles are strong and the drawers pull easily. Inside the dresser drawers, the slot which holds the clothes is not varnished and would appear to be pine. The veneer is varnished, but it only uses broad strokes for the veneer and the inside is not varnished as thoroughly as the outside (some spots are missing varnish on the inside not noticeable unless you were looking for it). The dresser is extremely sturdy and did not rock at all on my low pile carpet. The dresser was well packaged and there were no dings on it from the factory.
This dresser looks far better than cheaper dressers, and I wanted something that would look decent. It's not family heirloom worthy, but it's enough to make me feel good regarding what I paid for it. I definitely got what I paid for. I would buy this product again and I'm quite happy with it.
