Delta Children Universal 6 Drawer Dresser with Interlocking Drawers - Greenguard Gold Certified, Grey

I am seriously impressed by this dresser. It's the most beautiful, sturdy and well put-together piece of furniture I've bought on Amazon so far. All the outward-facing pieces are actual real wood, not particle board or plywood, and they are stained, which means no chipping laminate! The dresser feels solid and sturdy. All the parts fit together well. There are a lot of pieces but the instructions are clear so it was easy to assemble. The drawers glide smoothly. The finish is rich and beautiful (I got espresso cherry), the surface and the curves are smooth and very pleasant to run your hands over. It's a gorgeous-looking piece! The hardware is the most impressive part of all, because usually these assemble-it-yourself pieces come with horrible hardware that strips or breaks easily. This dresser came with those heavy duty black screws that just do not strip! I wasn't paying attention and used the wrong screws in one area, but taking them out and putting them where they belong with the drill was no issue at all, and they did not strip or even budge at all. The back panel, which you usually nail in place on this kind of furniture, has to be screwed in place instead, so there's a gazillion screws to put in. But their holes are pre-drilled so that makes it easier. Another thing that impressed me is that the drawers have a horizontal bar that runs underneath each, so they don't bow if you fill them with heavy items. Of all the drawered furniture I've ordered over the years, none has had that. Smart. I'll update my review once I've had the dresser for some time, to report on how it's holding up after repetitive use in the kids' room. But for now, I'm very happy with this dresser and would definitely recommend it!

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.
