Walker Edison 6-Drawer Modern Solid Wood Dresser with Metal Handles

Five stars for an affordable dresser of real pine wood, shipped at no cost for Prime members.Pros:-under $1000 for a real-wood significant piece of furniture. Yes, there are a few plywood pieces but w/o putting overly heavy items, I expect the bottoms of the drawers will hold up.-under $500 for a dresser that is full-sized. You can find some bamboo or engineered wood ones, but most are very narrow at 13-15”, low and short.-beautiful stain. I do wonder if dings and scratches in the darkest stains will show the pine under it.-good/complete build instructions. I’m a fan of things you can build yourself so I’ve dealt w/many instructions and this is among the better ones. Just follow them in the order they give. Some matter, others not as much but it seems easier to “match the pieces you’re currently constructing” (my best advice)-packed well with great consideration. But be warned, super heavy box.-great customer service! I had one less screw for one of the handles.Con’s:-It’s soft. It’s pine, with probably a thin coat of stain. But that is its nature. I wouldn’t use it for a youth’s or heavily used room or in an area that has a lot of traffic. Still, expect it to get marred and keep one of those paint pens nearby.-not ideal if just one person to manage from accepting parcel to moving finished piece into place. But it is doable and probably several hours for one person.-not as easy if you don’t have padded space at table height or a lot of area to carefully lay out all the pieces. Still, it’s doable. I stood pieces on their ends all lined up and constructed on my bed until it came to putting on the legs and back when I moved it onto a carpet.

This dresser is worse than ikea malm dressers from the early 2000’s. You put it together the same way as ikea furniture with 10000 parts. Once I got it all together it was completely crooked and wobbly. If you like a dresser shaped pile of wood this is the dresser for you. Save your money. No refund offered when I messaged the seller

Good quality for the price, and easy to put together if you have a drill or impact driver. It took me 4 hours to put this dresser together, but that was mostly in part to having an impact driver. The issue you will run into when putting this together will be the time it takes to put in some of these wood screws, there are a lot.That being said, the quality isn’t going to be top tier, but you shouldn’t expect more for the price. The color and stain is beautiful, I would also be careful about how your screwing things in, especially the feet. I did have one split on me, but was able to fix that by driving the screw in from the opposite side and making that leg a different part of the dresser.Overall it took me 4 hours to assemble. For a piece that would cost over $1000 at West Elm for a similar style, you’re getting a good deal. It’s solid wood, even if it is Pine, I would say it is better than manufactured wood.

Where do I start with this review?The Good:- It is a sturdy enough dresser, once its been installed properly.- Definitely modern looking and comes with a variety of color choices.- Really good instructions for assembling process.The Bad:- It takes a while for it to be assembled. It took a bit more than 6 hours for me to assemble (one person hand assembly).- Others have pointed out earlier as well. There is a gap that exists and they could have made the drawers bigger.- Bottoms of the drawers are MDF boards and that makes them rattling and cheap.- Its a one time and use thing. There is no way it can be unassembled and reassembled later.The Ugly:- Poor quality control. The panel that goes in the middle came broke for me. Lucky me that its the middle one. I was able to glue that and use it. Had it been any other, it would have been a total disaster. I took out a star because of this.- The wooden sliders on which the drawers slide are pretty bad design. They not only make them cheap, but a lot of rattling because of that. For $300, they could have used metal sliders. Took another star because of this and the cheap bottom drawers.Some suggestions:- Read the instructions very carefully and take time to assemble. Don't rush.- Do not install the board at the back before installing the legs. It becomes that much easier if you swap those two steps (unlike the instructions).- I used some beeswax to polish the wooden panels for drawers. It does give them a good patina.- I used some synthetic grease to lubricate the slider & drawers. That made them a bit tacky and less rattling (this could have been avoided completely if they have provided metal sliders).

It took me 3-4 hours to complete. It was really fun building and I think it looks really nice. I think equipment should've been better and the order of instructions revised. The hex screwdriver that was provide isn't sufficient, I would recommend a "L-shaped" one to screw the base to the legs. It says not to use a screw driver, but only because it's a soft wood. When making the drawers I used a drill and wished I used it since the beginning, just be slow and gentle not to strip the screws and damage the wood (I got a blister from using the screwdriver so much).Depth of drawer is large but the dowels that hold it in place really limit the opening.I would install a metal track that would make it slide nicer later on.7/10 bit pricey but it looks nice.

I would highly recommend this product! It is extremely sturdy, and it only took my husband and I 2 hours to put it together. The only drawback was that we hand screwed everything to prevent the wood from splitting because we were afraid the power screwdriver would damage it. I also like that there are no metal sliding mechanisms for the drawers (which I've had trouble in the past with other dressers), everything is solid wood. Our 65" tv fits perfectly on top and the drawers are pretty roomy. It is perfect for our bedroom, and I would buy it again!
