Modus Furniture Solid Wood Dresser, 6-Drawer, Element - Chocolate Brown

This isn't my first time buying furniture, and I remember back in the 1980s when I'd go to a local store like "The Hub", or "Hecht's" that you'd get real wood furniture, solid - weighed a ton and made in America. I bought a very 1980s platform bed and dresser out of solid teak that cost me about $600: that's about $1600 today. By itself, this dresser was $1142.I just spent a good amount of money on a dresser that looks nice, but is not solid hardwood. It arrived with some obvious blemishes - but it also arrived filthy. I don't mean dusty, I mean it was filthy.Fedex provides the freight service and - just a warning - they only deliver to your driveway. They won't bring it in the house, and they certainly won't take it up a flight of stairs. So, you see the fun drama of two senior citizens dismantling a large dresser and taking it in by themselves. What could say "customer care" better than risking someone getting crushed by a 150 lb dresser falling down a staircase?After the joy of unboxing and cleaning, I was able to put it into place. The rails are nice (just super super greasy) and it takes two people to line up the drawers to put them back in. The part you want to know is "how did you get the drawers out?"My brilliant husband figured it out: there's a skinny toggle that looks like the "minute hand" on a watch. On the left side, press it down, and on the right side, push it up - then pull the drawer out. Some drawers were reversed and we don't know why.I was luckier than many others who've reviewed this. While the box was heavily damaged during shipment, the dresser itself had minor damage - but it shouldn't have any. The finish is rough in spots, and rather than looking like quality furniture - it looks like cheap knock down furniture we used to buy at "cheap furniture stores" back in the 1990s: the kind where you'd rent a truck and they'd load it up from the dock in a box.In fairness, a lot of what we bought like that in the 80s and 90s was plastic framed, and this is a wood structure. The drawers, while they look nice from the front - are not well joined. Curiously, the drawer base is nailed in and the nail heads frequently show through because they were either too long or someone used a power hammer to "speed it up".Don't speed up adding a base to a drawer. The box joints are not dovetailed, which suggests this was simply affixed together. Not proper for good furniture - this suggests its dowel joints instead, which is again the mark of inexpensive furniture. In this type of construction, you'd anticipate a ridge around the four parts of the box into which the base would slide, and then the back would be mounted onto its dowels and either glued or cam lock and nut.

The drawers are deep & long enough to hold all of my clothes without falling out of the back of the drawer.Buyer be AWARE, though: this comes fully assembled except for the protective feet - it came on a pallet & was very heavy. My husband & step-father had to lift & move it together, so you'll want help when it's delivered.

This is a heavy long narrow dresser. The color is more of a grey than a brown. It has is very distressed look. The delivery service banged it up otherwise I would have given 5 stars

Looks great, not sure why bottom drawers are shallower than the top, otherwise would be a five star. There is plenty of space as you can see the space between the floor. Had a bit of a headache with the manufacturer/cymax since they charged me once but actually sent two dressers. Otherwise a great buy as it came preassembled.Update: Still looks great, but some of the drawers have come loose. The drawers are made with fairly thin wood and the screws they put in didn't sit correctly. I think I can fix it but considering it's just a few months after purchase you wouldn't anticipate this. (Probably easier to fix rather than try and warranty)Overall, the piece still looks great, but considering the lack of depth for the entire unit, the shallow bottom drawers and the questionable craftsmanship I'd probably look elsewhere.

Love the deep drawers and ball bearing drawer slides. LOVE this whole furniture set. This is a large dresser if your room is small make sure to measure.

Love it ----- also got 2 nightstands....loving them all!!

With the furniture being made of pine it is somewhat fragile and CEVA logistics heat the crud out of it. All pieces of furniture we ordered were damaged. I would not recommend ordering this furniture on Amazon. Now Amazon tells us we have to ship it back and wait for a refund. Keep in mind this was sold to Amazon not a third party.

We have this dresser and liked it so much, we bought it again. Everything is top quality. The wood is purposely not perfect (etched, colored, looks aged). We really like how it looks. The drawers work really well. The felt in the top drawers is a nice touch. And, it's big. This is an excellent value!We had one minor issue, and the seller (Cymax) reached out to fix it right away.
