Prepac Sonoma Superior 5-Drawer Dresser for Bedroom - Spacious and Stylish Chest of Drawers, Measuring 17.75"D x 31.5"W x 44.75"H, In Black Finish

I have put together quite a few "furniture in a box" projects in my travels. I would have to rate my experience, with Prepac, as near the top of the list for quality, design, and sturdiness. The materials are solid and the finished piece is both impressive and attractive for the price point. The assembly, as with all "ship flat" furniture... is no walk in the park... but the instructions are clear and everything fits together perfectly. I would, highly, recommend 2 things for the assembly. An electric drill with a Philips head screwdriver bit... and an extra pair of hands. This can be done by yourself... without an electric drill... but plan on setting aside quite a chunk of time when doing it this way. The drill will cut your assembly time by 3/4... at least... and the extra pair of hands will help a great deal. Overall, I was very impressed with everything about this dresser. The only problem I encountered was that a few small pieces of hardware were missing... and one of the drawer face pieces was damaged a bit in shipping... but the company shipped out replacements right away.

Looked good online, not very durable. In fact, I haven't even had it together for one month yet and the drawers are not holding up. I went with a set (I bought the Fremont six drawer dresser also), and bought these dressers because of the metal rails instead of the plastic, but the rails are not holding up. Now I have a dresser with the drawers slidding out and falling out of the rail. I am not sure what to do at this point with a dresser with drawers that do not work. In the future I think I will spend a little more money for quality.

Purchased this chest along with matching nightstand as a christmas gift for my daughter. Was very difficult to put together. screws did not fit well. Very unsturdy. Nothing included to stabilize. Drawers do not fit well. Several scratches (guess that is why they include the cover up markers). Have bought similar items from IKEA that were much better quality. Regret not going back there. Do not recommend this item if you are looking for something to last a few years.

I read through countless reviews on this dresser and multiple others. There are so many horror stories of boxes and materials being damaged, dressers being junk, etc. I debated buying from my local furniture store, but the dresser at $200 wasn't quite what I wanted (antique chic, and I wanted clean white; wrong size; etc.). I would then have to pay for delivery which was $50 to leave it at my door or $100 to bring it inside my home. I need multiple dressers, so this quickly went over my price range and out of my budget. Back to Amazon I went...and decided to take a chance on this beautiful dresser.I must say I was pleasantly surprised when the dresser arrived EARLY. The box was a little banged up, but the materials are packed with spray foam and were in PERFECT condition. Not a nick on them! All pieces were there and accounted for. It took my husband and I about 2 hours to assemble. The instructions were easy to follow. There were some screws that were tough to get in, but we managed! We hand tightened everything to ensure we wouldn't overtighten.The drawers slide easily. The dresser is very sturdy. It looks wonderful. I can fit drawer organizers in it. I'm buying another for the kids. My husband isn't even complaining that we'll have to put another together... :DIn regards to quality... some of the dresser is MDF (medium density fiberboard) instead of real wood. I one hundred percent expected this based on reviews and price point. It doesn't feel flimsy at all. The drawers are real wood. The bottoms of the drawers are a type of thick cardboard, which is pretty typical. The back of the dresser is mostly mdf. The supports are real wood. The legs are real wood. The drawer pulls are a nice, heavy metal. I would expect this dresser to survive decades in a non-abusive home, 10+ years with small children, and a couple of moves so long as the movers aren't overly rough with it. If you have children who climb into drawers of dressers... well, I think you need to invest in a better quality one to withstand that abuse! So far my kids are leaving it alone, but we'll see if that changes once I get the next one (which goes in their room).Overall, we're pleasantly surprised with this dresser and can't wait to buy another one next month!
