Drawer bottoms are flimsy, otherwise so far so good
You always have to keep in mind that you get what you pay for. Buying cheaper furniture, youre not going to find solid oak built to last 100 years. This is an MDF dresser, and will most likely last as long as you would expect cheaper MDF furniture to last. Not just for this item, but for all cheaper items, you should always keep that in mind when purchasing. You want super solid, then spend more.
With that out of the way, I set up this dresser and it has been in use for about a week. The only complaint I have is that one of the drawer bottoms came out of the package damaged. The edge was ripped about a half an inch in, which obviously would make it useless. I did not even attempt to contact the seller, so I cannot speak upon if they would have replaced it or not. What I did instead is go to Lowes and for ten dollars, I purchased a 4x4 sheet of hardboard, and cut it myself. This is a little sturdier than the drawer bottoms provided, so I used it for all 4 sheets. The drawer bottoms are usually the first thing to go on most cheaper built drawers whether were talking dressers or cabinets or anything like that, so it was well worth it to me. If you do not have the tools or do not want to spend the time to do this, you should still be ok with the material provided. I want to stress, having bought a lot of cheaper furniture in my life, this is not an issue specific to this item. You will find similar issues with everything at this price point.
Now that I have it all set up and put together, it seems fairly solid. Its not wobbly or anything like that. The drawer slides are smooth, and they are metal with wheels, not some clunky groove type slides that rubs against the sides.
Overall, Id say for this price, Im glad I purchased this dresser. I cant speak to durability or anything like that yet, but if I run into any issues in the future, I will be sure to come back and update.
