Barrett Wood & Synthetic Rattan Dresser: 6 Drawers, Angled Legs - Baxton Studio

Wish I would have read the reviews before buying. After putting together with awful directions, the drawers look wonky and misaligned. Drawers also are hard to close and open and despite the great outside look of wood, the inside is made of cheap and crunchy particle board. For this type of money, definitely look elsewhere

The dresser is not made of solid wood, only the outer shell is. The color you select is also only going to be on the outside of the dresser. With that being said the look from the outside looks like the dresser. The bottom of the drawers and the back of the dresser is made with very thin particle board. I have not yet completed my assembly as I’m waiting on replacement parts because for the damages pieces (see pic 1 and 2). What I have learned so far is that the bottom grooves of the side of the drawers do not line up with the groove on the front of the drawer so putting in the bottom panel is impossible. To avoid this issue put the bottom panel into the front of the drawer first and assemble the sides around it (see pic 3 and 4). In step 7 you have to assemble L brackets into the side panel going a certain direction (see pic 5). The issue with this is that there is no groove on the side panel to make sure the L brackets are lined up correctly. The hole in the bracket is also slightly to big allowing the bracket to move forward or backwards along the screw. I will update the review once I’m able to finish the build.
