Solid but very smelly and with a serious design flaw
This is a seriously solid (heavy, sturdy) dresser that looks nice when put together. However it is incredibly smelly, I have never bought a piece of furniture that basically smells like an open can of paint. It has been out of the box for 4 days and still smells rather strong, my hope is that this goes away by the time our baby is born. The smell makes me wonder about whether or not the paint used on the dresser is really non-toxic. Secondly, while the drawers are also very solid and rely on screws rather than glue to assemble (which is good), they are very short. The drawers stop about 3 inches short of the back of the dresser. I haven't idea why someone would design a dresser that way. It means you get a lot less storage per drawer and you have this huge gap in the back which it the perfect place for clothing to fall behind. I would return the dresser based on these two things if we hadn't already put it together. Would not purchase again, and would not recommend.
