Naomi Home 7 Drawer Dresser for Bedroom, Stylish Tall Dressers with Wheels, Storage Shelves, Small Makeup Dresser for Closet with 180 lbs Capacity - Gray

I was looking for a drawer unit to position next to my electronics bench to store and organize a variety of handheld meters, probes, tools, and supplies that clutter up the bench and its shelves. Seeing this had 7 drawers with casters at a height conducive to serving as a mobile stand for my bench laptop, it looked like a good option at a reasonable price.I've assembled uncountable items of particleboard and MDF furniture like this over the years, and I'm also obsessively attentive to detail, so even after reading several reviews complaining about the difficulty of assembly, I wasn't daunted. In the end, I'm satisfied with the result, but could easily see how others might be dissatisfied, so allow me to share some observations and tips.First the pros:+ It's an attractive unit+ 7 drawers provide a lot of storage and organizational possibilities, although the drawers aren't particularly deep so just be sure that what you expect to store will fit+ Once assembled, it actually feels quite sturdy (with the caveat about casters noted below)Now the cons:- Can be tricky to assemble if you're not paying attention- Particleboard is somewhat low density, definitely not IKEA quality, which requires care with assembly (thought once assembled, it does feel sturdy enough); most of all DO NOT overtighten screws- Quality of fasteners is mediocre at best, including screws and cams; Screw heads are prone to stripping from cam-out, and I had one cam for a drawer face snap while tightening it down, but it's holding and not load-bearing so I left it alone (I have some spare cams from prior furniture builds that are compatible should I need them)- If fully loaded with a lot of weight, I have doubts about the ability of the small & cheap casters to support much movement; they'll likely be okay if left in a static position, but then why have casters? I wanted the mobility to be able to move it around when needed, so this remains to be seenDue to the aforementioned quality issues, careless assembly can clearly result in an unpleasant experience and dissatisfaction with the product. However I find that once it's all together, it does feel sturdy enough for its purpose.Here's some tips for those who may be considering this unit but might be wary after reading some of these reviews:First and foremost, TAKE YOUR TIME! Rushing assembly because you "know what you're doing" could easily lead to problems.Take a moment to look through the brief instruction set to the end, so you can get an idea of sequence and details like drawer rail orientation before you start.Take inventory of the parts and lay them out in some logical order before you start.As others have noted, the small screws used for installing the drawer rails need to be carefully driven flat to avoid the drawers binding in the rails, as there's very little tolerance for protrusion; these screws are prone to tilt a bit as they go in, and can easily finish with one side of the head tilted up enough to bind. I was careful after reading other reviews, and yet still had one of the 42 screws used on the rails bind up and require reseatingThe supplied screws, especially the small ones (there are 100 of these!), are of soft metal. It's VERY important to use a quality screwdriver bit that is sized properly, as the slightest amount of cam-out (where the bit spins in the screw head) due to wrong bit size or over-torquing will strip out the screw head very easily. I used a good quality PH2 sized bit. Be sure to apply a firm downward pressure but do not over-torque or over-tighten the screws (see note below on power screwdrivers).Also, with this particleboard not being very dense, it's very easy to strip the screw threads by over-tightening. Virtually NONE of these screws will tighten to a hard stop -- if you attempt to tighten until they stop, you will strip out the threads! Just stop when the pressure firms up a bit. I found that using my finger tips on the manual screwdriver (see below) instead of a ham-fisted grip will give you good tactile sense of what is "tight enough." You'll also start to hear a slight "crackling" sound, which is the particleboard starting to give way to the screw threads, so that's a good audible indicator to STOP tightening.Finally, the instructions caution against using a drill or power screwdriver, for understandable reasons -- the particleboard and the fasteners are both of soft material, and just a little too much speed or torque can strip screw threads and heads, and break cams. That said, due to the sheer number of screws included (well over 120 as I recall), it will take a LOT of time and considerable wrist endurance to manually screw them all in. So while I would definitely not use a drill or drill-sized driver, you can use the small rechargeable 3.0v-4.7v power screwdrivers as long as they deliver low torque (or are set to their lowest torque setting). Being somewhat of a tool hoarder, I have a large assortment of screwdrivers in all shapes and sizes, manual and electric. For this assembly, I used 3 different screwdrivers: 2 electric and 1 manual ratcheting. I did NOT allow the electric screwdrivers to tighten any of the screws, I stopped short of bottoming out the screws and finished each with the manual ratcheting screwdriver. For the large screws I used a NoCry electric screwdriver (Amazon part# B0795471QZ -- you can search for these part numbers in Amazon's search bar) set on its #2 torque setting. For the small screws I used the Craftsman 4V rechargeable screwdriver (Amazon part# B08WVKJ42C), which is an excellent light weight, low-torque driver. Again, the point with these is LOW TORQUE and not using them to finish tightening the screws. Once the screws were 80-90% of the way in, I switched to the manual ratcheting screwdriver to finish tightening. I used the Workpro 12-in-1 Ratcheting Screwdriver (Amazon part# B0761K3H82), another favorite of mine. You obviously don't have to use these exact tools to get good results, I'm just offering what worked well for me in case you have something similar at hand.

this would be great for crafting. drawers are shallow

Mine didn’t come with a Hex screw and I double checked the box just to be sure I didn’t miss any pieces so just make sure you examine all pieces before building

I have this next to the table where I do my watercolor paintings. It holds lots of supplies. The casters are very convenient and it's just the right size.

I ordered this to use in my sewing room. It is perfect for quilting supplies. It is also great to store cut pieces for a project.

Took 4 hours to build but so worth it !! Very sturdy too. Highly recommend, an ikea dupe for sure. :)!

I bought only because I didn't want to take a 3 hour trip to IKEA... big mistake. I am honestly in disbelief that this passed any sort of quality control. This thing took near 2 hours to put together. There are obvious signs of discoloration. In some areas the paint is very thin and in others it's so thick it wants to chip off. I was missing 2 essential screws but had 12 extra of another kind. Some hardware was flawed and could not be used like the bent screw pictured and a broken wooden peg that was thrown out. The pre drilled holes were not deep enough so the screws would occasionally pull up the wood and destroy it. We tried many tricks to prevent it happening but 30% of the screws went in very poorly. Not all the pieces lined up and it wasn't obvious until you put it all together. When fully assembled, the drawers are tougher to pull out than normal and the whole thing wobbles even when it's filled with clothing. Overall I feel like this is a very poor quality drawer that is not worth the current price tag. Just spend the time and take a trip to IKEA if you can..

Great for a small space. It needs to be secured to a wall as instructed. Not the most solid piece of furniture, but fine if NOT in a child’s room (won’t last there). I use it for all my office supplies next to my desk - perfect for that. The drawers easily roll open, no magnets or anything. So you need a level surface or they won’t stay shut. There are no legs, pegs, felt pads or anything of the sort that come it. Get adhesive felt pads. The bottom is entirely flat and you cannot penetrate it, but a sticker pad will do great. VERY hard to follow instructions. You have to be a self-learner and comfortable w such things. Scratches EASILY so before assembly, have a very clean surface : preferably a clean rug or carpet to lay it down on. The box is HEAVY. One person - unless a fairly strong and large person -would have trouble with this. Needs two people to carry. But all that said - and after a full two hours to assemble it - it is great and what I wanted. Put it this way - would I do it all over again - NO - it’s a real pain to carry and assemble. But I’m happy with it now that the work is done.
