Walker Edison Chest of Drawers

This is an affordable and nice looking dresser for the bedroom. It’s very sturdy and uses mostly wood for the construction. You do have to follow the instructions as presented. It does take some time to put this together but we’ll worth the cost savings.

Let me just say this dresser is gorgeous! The wood perfectly matches my baby’s crib. It does also come with a wall mount so I didn’t need to buy one after all I guess. lol.However if you’re planning on buying this, please be aware that this is not an easy dresser to put together, even with help from others or while pregnant. My hands and my husband’s hands have blisters from hand twisting in all the screws. Half of the wood pieces are not pre drilled in some areas so we literally had to hand twist screws into solid wood since the instructions say using a drill is not recommended. We spent more time trying not to ruin the wood with the screws and nails than we spent on actual assembly.We also didn’t follow the instructions to a tea, as some of them weren’t clear. We found it easiest to assemble all of the small pieces together before assembling the actual dresser.As far as the completed product we are very happy with the quality of the wood, the drawer alignment is decent(some seem slightly off but not big enough to cause issues), and the size is perfect for our nursery.Just keep in mind if you plan on purchasing this, you’ll have to take the assembly slow so you don’t strip or damage the wood or hardware, and it might take you more than one day to put together depending on how much time you have on your hands. (Took us 8 hours over the span of two days)

Was nervous when purchasing due to the reviews, however, the quality of the dresser exceeded my expectations. Its a solid piece of furniture and the Dark Walnut color is beautiful. The instructions are clear enough, but it does take quite a bit of time and concentration to make sure everything is correctly put together. Would advise buying an electric screwdriver to save time.

On the plus side, the dresser is visually appealing. It looks great in any room with matching colors. Unfortunately, all the good this dresser does ends there.This dresser is among the worst things I've ever built, due to how awful the instructions are. It's also impossible to put together without power tools, despite saying *not* to use them. Holes are missing in areas where they should be. Many parts look too similar to other parts. It's a mess.Then, there's the quality of the product. In just one week, there was a scratch. The drawers also can't hold nearly as much weight as they let on, due to cheap slotting instead of screwing in the base for each drawer.Worst of all, though, is their customer service. My dresser came with a missing cam screw, so I wasn't able to actually finish putting together the dresser properly. At first I thought "Fair enough. Accidents happen." and I sent in an invoice. They then sent me a package with *every* part that came with the dresser *except* the one I needed. Annoyed, I put in another request. Mind you, it's been a month since my purchase, and again, they send everything *except* what I requested.If it weren't such a hassle to take this apart and send it back, I would do so.

Is it made from cheap soft pine?...Yes. Does it lack sufficient coating of polyurethane?... yes (you should plan on coating it if you want to keep looking presentable).But you are buying a dresser for less than $500 made from actual wood. I couldn't build this myself with the lumber from the box store. And if you bought this from a furnace store you would pay $800-$1500. They don't make furniture out of oak anymore for cheap, so great value for an all wood dresser.Box quality was great Use of masonite on the ends to protect the wood from damage during shipping.Assembly wasn't too bad if you are a carpenter. If not, then it would take you a day to put together. Follow the instructions... no power tools. This is pine and if you use an impact or drill you will crack the wood putting screws in.

It takes a few hours to put together so have patience, but it does pay off for how beautiful it looks. The drawers are fairly shallow, one keeps falling apart to where I have to have a screw driver on hand, which i'm sad about. It is solid wood but the wood is soft & can very easily become dented. I dropped my phone on the top which easily dented it & is unfortunate. If you're looking for a temporary dresser or something for a guest room, i'd say go for it but don't expect it to have a long life. I wouldn't use this in a nursery because the drawers are held in place by a small peg.

This is a solid wood good sturdy dresser. No issues putting it together. Will be a good piece for years to come.
