This review is for the Lintel Oak finish Chest of Drawers. I purchased this chest because I already have two of the night stands that go with it (which I also reviewed and gave 5 stars). This chest is heavy and sturdy. It DOES take some time to assemble! Unlike the nightstands, which took me about an hour and a half for the first one and an hour for the second, this chest of drawers took me close to three hours. Im not saying it is hard to build, it is just that there are more parts to this piece and you REALLY want to take your time and read the instructions carefully.
The instructions are easy to read, but can get a little confusing at times. Best advice is just dont get frustrated. You will be able to assemble this!
Once assembled, the drawers slide like butter! If a drawer has trouble sliding, there are fine/tune adjusters on each side of each drawer.
It looks like real distressed wood. The photos the seller uses in the description are good, but may be just a little light. Mine is a smidgen darker as you can see by my photos. I did not use a flash because I wanted the true hue to come out.
So, all/in/all, if you set aside 3+ hours to build this chest, take your time, have fun with it, youll really like the outcome and quality of this piece of furniture. Im contemplating buying the headboard and Id buy the Dresser if I needed one; but I just dont need a Dresser.
Yes, I recommend this with the reminder to take your time and dont get frustrated.
I Love This Furniture!
