Delta Children Universal 6 Drawer Dresser, Greenguard Gold Certified, Black

This is an AWESOME dresser! Time to assemble - around 2hours (this includes un-packing and some cleaning-up). When it first arrived the box had a HUGE dent and I was worried about the contents inside. But you can see from the photo it was VERY well packed. Everything was in great shape! PROS - - Easy to put together! The directions were simple, all the parts where there and labeled VERY well (picture of the nuts / bolts, etc with labels) - Sturdy and beautiful Our plan is to use this for our baby and then as she grows, it will be her dresser! From the look and feel, this will last a VERY long time. - Awesome Price For what you get, the price is awesome. (note, we got this for ~230) CONS - (had to be VERY nit-picky. And NONE of these were bad enough to lose a star, hence it keeping the 5star rating) - Alan wrench The it comes with an alan wrench. I felt at a few times they could of sized it differently to make it slightly nicer to use - Hand screw driver Yeah, so directions said to NOT use an electric screw driver. I quickly threw that idea out the window and grabbed my electric drill. My drill has a torque limiter on it, so I set it really low and adjusted as needed. This would of been painful to do w/o a drill. But I understand why they wanted you to do it that way. If you go full boar with a drill you'll probably split wood, etc. - Uneven drawers So this might just be how I put it together. But you'll notice the drawers are perfectly straight / aligned. I tried REALLY hard to put it together perfectly. This is just more of an OCD thing. It works perfectly and there are no problems.

I wanted to write this review in response to some of the negative reviews which have been written about this product (and which almost persuaded me not to order - but I'm glad that I did). Some issues brought up in reviews: This 6 drawer dresser is well built FOR THE PRICE. I was actually quite surprised at how nice it was when I put it together. It is important to remember that this is a low cost dresser which is shipped to your door. This is not a piece of heirloom furniture which you will pass down for generations. You will most likely be able to get a childhood's worth of years out of this dresser, and then it will be a throw away piece. However, if you are looking for something for the long haul, you'll need to go to a furniture store and pay $800+. This dresser holds my child's clothing without difficulty, and is sturdy enough to serve as a changing table as well. Customer service - I did have to contact customer service as one of the side pieces to a drawer was missing. Other people found that customer service was not helpful, however this was not my experience at all. I called Delta, and was helped by a representative who took my information and assured me that my piece would be at my doorstep "within 8 business days". They delivered on their promise, and it actually showed up in about 5 business days. I was extremely pleased with their customer service. I did not deduct a star for the fact that the drawer piece was missing as accidents happen, and they remedied the problem quickly and to my satisfaction. Ease of assembly - my husband and I (while pregnant) were able to easily set this dresser up without difficulty. I would recommend that you have a power drill, even though the directions say that you can use a hand screwdriver. The piece which goes on the back of the dresser has a large amount of screws that need to be screwed in and you'll really want a screwdriver to do this! We also didn't have any trouble understanding the directions, they were also well laid out. All in all, I would recommend this dresser to family and friends. Just keep in mind how much you are paying for this furniture - don't expect to pay for do it yourself home assembly furniture and expect an exquisite hand made Amish heirloom and you'll be happy with your purchase.

My wife and I are expecting next spring, but as most parents do, they go ahead and get their furniture prior to the baby arriving. I'd like to think that my wife and I are like any loving set of parents. We would do anything for our child but our thought processes are also based on practicality. When we first visited USA Baby (a nationwide baby specialty store) and Babies R Us, we were surprised to find that various furniture they had in their showroom was as expensive if not more expensive than the full bedroom suite we have in our master bedroom (includes nightstands, beds, multiple dressers, mirror, etc). Some of the cheapest "suites" were around $1600+ and if our child is going to use it until she's at least a teenager with the growing pains of her abusing her own furniture over the years, I'm not willing to spend that much. My wife then went to Target, saw the Delta line (she was happy with the appearance & construction) and then we made our choices based on their website. The crib is Delta Bentley S Series 4-in-1 Crib (Amazon's picture is wrong, go to Delta's website to see the actual style) and the changing table is Delta Eclipse Changing Table . If you're wondering, yes we mixed & matched the furniture from different product lines Delta offers. All the furniture is white (finish number 100 by Delta's catalog). If you're going to go the same route as us (mix and match), make sure the finish number is the same across all the products you choose, otherwise you'll have mismatched finishes. On a side note, this dresser, despite the name, is actually known as the "Delta Canton/Eclipse" product line on their webpage. On Amazon, it's known as "Delta Universal 6". If you compare the pictures of Amazon's vs that of the Delta Enterprise website, they are identical. First and foremost, this thing is HEAVY. Amazon lists it at 130 lbs, but UPS weighed it in at 138 lbs. So be EXTREMELY careful if you don't have anyone to help you move it. I got it in my house alone, but because of it's weight (and the nursery being upstairs), I ended up unboxing the components and taking them upstairs armfuls at a time. Assembly time requires about an hour to an hour and a half if you're doing it alone. My wife actually likes to help with this kind of stuff and we both put it together in about 50 minutes. It's a good team building exercise if she does want to help! :) The finish of the white is a glossy, pure white (like bright white paper or even house baseboards "trim white"). It doesn't seem to scratch very easy and overall I was pleased with the finish all over each part. As for craftsmanship, I am very pleased with it. It's very sturdy and aesthetically pleasing. Honestly, I think it rivals that of the more expensive brands out there. Highly recommended.
