I have never been a fan of this type of construction. I find that the locking mechanisms used to hold the pieces together are not as strong as they should be, especially given they are in particle board. First thing, we ordered two of these. Both boxes showed up at the door as if they were in a demolition derby. Not surprising given the sheer weight of the box. Personally, it would have been better for this to have shipped in two boxes and not one, but what can you do. Luckily we only had minor damage on one, with one trim piece being completely broken. That piece in question did not hold me up from putting it together, as I said its a trim piece and I will install it when the replacement part comes in. On that note, when I called the customer care line to request the replacement, it could not have been easier, and the guy I spoke with on the phone was super friendly. In all it took me about 2hrs by myself to put one of them together, and about 2.5hrs to put the second one together. In reality I think some of that time was spent on the phone with the customer service guy. Now in the manual it states you need two people to assemble this. I will say a second person definitely could have helped, but I was able to do this by myself so its not impossible. Overall, they are very sturdy but with concerns. In the coming days I will reinforce the cabinets with angle brackets to beef them up as they are not as sturdy as I would like. Also internally anchoring them to the wall will greatly help as well keeping them sturdy. Now I do want to address one thing on here because I think one of the reviews of this product is unfair and a bit misleading. If you read through the negative reviews, you will see one of the cabinets collapsed and laying in pieces. I think this is more from negligence rather than poor product. In the manual it specifically gives weight ratings for the shelves. On the very top, it states max of 35lbs, each shelf is a max of 25lbs. Looking at the pictures from this review, it looks like they exceeded the weight limits causing the collapse of the cabinet. Back to the topic at hand, overall, I can't give this 5stars because of the way in which these assemble. They are pretty sturdy and look really nice, my wife loves them and that is the most important part. Once that replacement part comes in, and I am able to add additional photos I will update this review.

So far so good. We needed a nice looking functional and small desk for ourMothers retirement home room. We wanted some she can be proud of. This was perfect. Solid, good quality unit where she can use her computer. It was very hard to find a desk that was less than 40” wide.

So, this was my first Wayfair purchase. It really took a long time to put together. I looked at the measurements and was excited to get something bigger than my current dresser. But, despite the outside being much larger, the inside drawers stop about 4 inches from the back. So they actually hold the same amount as my previous dresser. This seems like a bad design flaw. First, it doesn't do what I want, which was to hold more stuff. Second, won't this cause more of a forward tipping hazard, because all the weight is pushed forward? Maybe this is why it says not to put anything with any weight such as a TV on top, and to never open more than one drawer at a time? I tried to take some pictures to show the huge gap between the totally closed drawer and the back of the dresser. What a shame, such a waste of space, for no purpose I can see. All it achieves is a less stable unit? It seems like somewhat cheap materials. But it looks nice and my drawers operate smoothly, so it's okay.

UPDATE (05/04/2022): this dresser has consistently had the drawers cave in/fall through. Do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT WASTE your money. It will come damaged from delivery and the drawer bottoms will fall through. They’re not real screws that bolt them together so it’s very flimsy and cheap. We might try and get long screws and drill it in so the bottom stops falling through. I mean the back of the drawer completely separated from the sides and the bottom fell through. It’s very tedious and frustrating when I have to take a whole drawer out, try and fix the bottom and then put all my sons clothes back in. It’s not worth the headache. UPDATE (08/23/2021) : not even a month and one of the drawers caved in…again, it’s a dresser for a child. The clothes aren’t heavy. The drawer that caved was my sons boxers, tank tops and socks. Original review (07/31/2021) So obviously you get what you pay for. It’s not a super high end dresser so don’t expect super fancy. BUT if you pay for a “NEW” product, you’d expect something new and untarnished. Like other reviews, the directions aren’t clear. There aren’t any words, just pictures like you’re building a lego. The parts for the most part are labeled. But the screws are not. In time, you’ll figure out all the hardware is separated (at least in my case) so it shouldn’t be an issue. I put together the dresser by myself in approx 2.5 hours. The reasoning for only 2 stars because it came damaged and dirty. It was packed decently enough that the interior pieces shouldn’t have had chips where they were. The pieces of wood were also dirty (pictures attached) and had clear finger smudges. Terrible quality control. Like another review mentioned, on the back of the dresser, there is about 2 inches uncovered on the top portion… super weird design. The drawers also DO NOT go fully back. There is also about 2 inches before the drawer even comes to the back of the dresser so you lose drawer space. The drawers do pull out smoothly so I like that. Overall, it’s a decent dresser for the price. It looks nice, it was intended for a 6 year old so there’s enough space. But I don’t think I would repurchase. First purchase with wayfair and they ship through FedEx, which are the worst.

The bed is great, overall. The pieces feel sturdy, but I ran into a few issues. No matter how much I adjust the bed, one drawer won’t shut flush, which drives me nuts. Also, while I was adjusting, the brace that holds the two large pieces that hold the mattress up, popped out and fell. I had to remove a few pieces in order to put it back in. I wish it would screw into the body, but it’s held in by 3 pegs.Overall, I would purchase again for a child, but with a weight limit of 250, an adult might be out of the question.Updated we’ve had this bed for over a year now. 3 weeks in, the tabs holding the frame up broke and we bought new ones, which also broke. My (newly) 3 year old weighs 37 pounds, WELL under the weight limit of 250lbs. All of the tabs have broken, and no matter what we use to keep the mattress frame up, it fails. Now the frame just sits on the drawers, making them sag and impossible to open. This bed is terrible and a huge waste of money. It’s not worth the storage space underneath. Of course by the time we gave up on it, the bed was beyond and return window. PLEASE go with another option. This will not last long at all.

Material is very flimsy and multiple pieces were damaged on the very top of the box. I can only imagine what’s underneath. I hope I can return this. That only other alternative at this point is throwing it out
