First Impression
This dresser ships in a big, heavy box. Make sure to put it together in the nursery or room where you plan to have it. The large pieces are securely packed. This ensures that buyers receive their dresser without damage. After getting everything out of the box, one would immediately notice the sheer number of screws. This sight can overwhelm anyone who haven’t assembled a lot of furniture. On the good side, the directions are clear and easy to follow. The pieces also come with labels. The dresser comes with a small Allen wrench, but it is better if you use your own.
The assembly is a tedious and time-consuming process. This shouldn’t stop you from getting the dresser, though. Having many screws and dowels implies that the finished product would turn out to be very sturdy. The pieces align with each other with no or minimal effort. Using a drill would help save time. Make sure you use one with torque control. This would prevent the wood pieces from breaking from too much force.
Safety Features
All 6 drawers have safety stops. These prevent the drawers from going all the way out. This would keep curious toddlers from pulling the drawer out of the metal glides. The drawers run smoothly along the glides. They are easy to pull open. In case your hands are full, you won’t find it hard to pull it open. Children can easily open the drawers too. This can be a good thing (if you want them to get their clothes on their own) or a bad thing (if they tend to make a mess). Either way, the drawer serves its purpose as an accessible storage solution.
This nursery cabinet comes with a wall anchor to attach it to the wall. Doing so would keep the dresser in place and stop it from tipping over. While the weight of the dresser makes it very unlikely to tip over, securing it would be the safest option.
The cabinet does not have glued pieces or small parts that may pose a choking hazard. There are only round edges; even the legs are curved. The overall finish is smooth. All sides of the dresser, even those that are not visible, are finished beautifully.
Space and Storage
Each drawer is deep. What it may lack in height, it compensates with depth. Note that the drawer doesn’t put all the way out. This is a safety feature that prevents it from falling off the metal glide. All drawers are the same size and can fit plenty of clothes. Rolling clothes, instead of folding them flat, can save space. Using small baskets can also keep things organized.
The top of the dresser is useful for storing commonly used items. The space also allows you to use it as a makeshift changing table. The height enables you to change your baby’s diaper without having to strain your back.
The dresser’s color is true white. The finish is smooth, so it can be painted on to match your baby’s room.
