I needed a lot of drawers, and I got a lot of drawers. Unfortunately, the accuracy of the pre/drilled holes must have been very poor, since the drawers do not align properly. The photo shows all drawers pushed in as far as they will go. As you can see, the bottom drawer and the second from the top protrude a good 1/4 in front of the rest.
This is the first time that I have ever ordered anything that came totally unassembled. Im pretty good at putting things together, but this one takes the cake. The instructions are nearly impossible to follow and there is a statement that says if there are problems to mail them the issue // it gave no address. The instructions are very faint and difficult to see.
This has a ton of parts because the drawers each have 2 sides, a front, a back, sliders, a bottom, screws, toggles, dowels, etc. The directions are poor compared to an thing. There were a couple of side/corner chips but nothing too bad. All in all, it goes together well, and if you put wood glue on the dowels as you put it together you end up with something not unattractive and sturdy. I wanted this to store quilting fabric for my wife, and it is ideal for something like that. I do woodworking for a hobby and am very comfortable assembling things, and it probably took at least 90 min to put this together. I just ordered a 2nd one, so that tells you I was satisfied. Very easy to set up!
Its just what I needed and was looking for, but it took a while to put together. There were several pieces that were damaged, but you cant see them so I didnt return.
Im giving this 2 stars because multiple pieces were damaged. I reported this to the seller and was told I would get a response in two business days. Still havent heard back. Also, the wooden dowel pins seemed pretty loose and I wasnt confident the hardware would hold it long term so I used wood glue on all the dowels and joints. Definitely sturdy now!
We purchased this to be a craft and paper storage for our boys playroom. It will work perfectly for this intent. A lot of reviewers said the pieces arent labeled but we found tiny stickers on most of the boards (I included a photo of this) and could have figured it out from the diagrams in the manual if the stickers hadnt been present.
If youve ever put together drawers before, you know that they are often embossed with CL or CR (this means cabinet left or right) and DL or DR (drawer left or right), so those were easy to identify as well.
Did the manual suck? Yeah, kind of. But its not impossible; theres just room for improvement. Primarily because they are constantly flipping the diagrams around. So in step whatever youre looking at the bottom and then they indicate flipping the unit upside down and a 90° On another axis and you have to figure out the new orientation. Many times, the flip was unnecessary. Outside of that, it was /level easy.
Love that you can opt to not install casters. Love the size. Love the clean white look. Love that it took only 40 mins for me and my love to leisurely build this while we had a project beer and listened to a stand/up comedy special.
PRO TIP: Pay attention to the step in the manual where you only install SIX of the drawer tracks on each side. You cant install the seventh track until the step that says to do so, or youll cover some cam locks you need to tighten first. Thats literally the only place I could understand someone struggling. The reviews that say only six drawers fit and stuff baffled us. Really good.
I needed a couple of drawer units to place under a table for storage. These were the right size and fit my decor so I mainly bought them for that reason. For being particle board, they are actually designed better than most products made of this material. the fasteners are placed deeper into the boards which should provide more forgiveness in case of load stress. They were fairly straightforward in assembly. All of the drawers are the same so you can in a rhythm in assembling those. The rest of the assembly is fairly basic. It took me about 7 hours to assemble both of them with many interruptions and distractions in/between. I would have to say that the most disappointing feature was the cheapness of the casters. They are very small and are made of very cheap plastic. But, the wheel locks do seem to perform quite well. The drawer guides are standard and are neither flimsy or sturdy. They give the proper amount of smoothness for a cabinet of this price range. Works great!
The shipment was missing a part that kept us from completing the assembly of one of the drawers. The vendor has stated they would send the part if we sent a photo of the part from the assembly manual. They said I could respond to their email within . I see absolutely no way to do that. So, am sending the photo via another review. Hopefully, this will get the ball rolling. We like the drawer overall. It works well for our needs. We just want to get the final drawer completed. Very pleased!
Product came in a week earlier than anticipated, and the parts came in fairly good shape. Instructions take some time getting used to, but I recommend following it to a Tee (you will end up blocking an area that you need to screw off first, if you dont).
Drawer looks absolutely nice once its finished. The only thing Im concerned about is how much weight the drawers can handle. The wood that will be holding your things together are thinner than expected. I dont think it can hold a lot of books/heavy set of papers, but if you dont plan on overloading your drawers, I think it would hold fine. Well made, easy to assemble and useful.

Drawers fit poorly.

Nearly impossible to assenble.

Very reasonable for the price

Works but not worth the work and money

Received cosmetic damage.

Easy to build, functional, and crisp

Pretty much what youd expect for the price range.

Fast shipping and overall, good product, but may not handle as much weight as expected

Good Quality / Easy to assemble
Good sturdy set of drawers. It was well packaged and went together easily in about 75 minutes. Looks good. Solid and basic.
