Prepac Double Drawer Dresser, 17.5" D x 59" W x 29" H, Drifted Gray

I feel like I need to clear the air on this product! I put this together rather easily but it is a job and will take a few hours. Some of the reviews on here seem very odd to me as my experience with this Dresser was not problematic at all. The manual is very well done and way better than most especially if you have ever put together IKEA products. This manual makes IKEA manuals look like stone tablets from 2000 B.C. as it is very detailed which is greatly appreciated. I will say that if you are a novice, there may be 1 or 2 things within the assembly manual that aren't exactly clear and may leave you to leave a piece off or install the drawer rails upside down but if you carefully READ the sentences at the top or bottom of the page, you won't make a mistake. Don't just go by the pictures, actually read the instructions! The 2 bottom pieces are interchangeable (clearly stated in the manual) and are different designs. It is your preference of which one to use. The picture shows the plain one in front. I used a more decorative one and will post pictures later. The drawer rail boards that mount to the center piece and have the rails installed on them are clearly stamped L or R (Left or Right) and the rails are clearly marked with DL or DR (Drawer Left or Drawer Right) to avoid any confusion. When it was all said and done, the quality of the wood was actually very study and the black shines greatly once you wipe off the particles that result from packaging. If you are trying to save money, I think you will love this dresser. Try not to be swayed by the reviewers who clearly don't put together furniture or other items very much. I am an engineer and have assembled many things but even so, I promise this dresser is not hard to assemble if you have patience and read your steps clearly before proceeding. Take your time! There are a lot of fasteners and hardware pieces to use so allow a few hours to do the work. The drawers take the most time but are very sturdy when finished. The camshafts (locked fasteners that look like screws) are color coded to ensure you put the right ones in the correct places. As for missing hardware, I did not experience this but if you buy enough furniture that requires assembly, you will run in to this at least a time or two. This dresser looks amazing when finished especially with the high quality knobs that come with it for the drawers. Now will this dresser stand the test of time? That will remain to be seen but take proper care of it and I think it will last a long time and save you a lot of money!

Great dresser! Love the color and it feels sturdy. Took me about 3 hours to put together by myself after realizing I had to switch a couple pieces around. Instructions are okay, none of the pieces are labeled with stickers but it’s not difficult to figure out which one is which. Just make sure you look at which way each plank is facing with the holes because it can be easy to mess up. Overall love it! Drawers aren’t tiny but aren’t big. Color looks more gray tone and not as orange as in my pic.

My rating dropped down mainly because of how many parts there was to put together and the instructions weren't absolutely clear. You get what you pay for. This will not last you for generations to come and it is not a large dresser you will be able to jam pack all your things in to. Read the dimensions of the item to make sure this will suit your needs. Although I wish it was larger it works for me. The drawers don't get stuck or break on me but I am also very sure to not over stuff them. My favorite part of the dresser is the color and the esthetic. I also got the nightstand of this and I think they go cute together.

Absolutely awful. Now I will admit I am not a very handy person. In fact I may literally be the worst handyman on the planet. Despite this, I can typically still manufacture prefab furniture, it just takes me a lot longer than it does a normal person. Despite this, my negative rating and experience with this drawer goes well beyond my inability as you will see in this review.First off, the directions for this thing were not very clear and certainly were not helpful.While the directions have labeled pieces, the boards and pieces in the box are not. The only exception is there is an R and an L on some pieces which is actually nice.Another issue is that the dresser uses two different sized zinc cams. After spending hours on this thing (which is mostly on my inability to do mechanical work) once I got to the drawers (which is the final step), I realize that there are two different size zinc cams, because the 3 cams I have left won’t fit into the slot in the drawer.Now as I have said, I am terrible at these types of things, but I don’t feel this one can be blamed on that. These cams look identical, it just so happens one is just slightly larger than the other to the point it enough that it will not fit in the slot on the drawer. So there I am, six hours into this thing, with 3 cams that are just slightly too big for the drawer slots. Why they did this is beyond me, but it makes never want to buy another dresser from them again.This goes back to why it is an issue that they did not label pieces. Had the pieces been in bags labeled “A3” and “C8” (for example) this may have been avoided, but nothing is labeled which causes confusion, especially for someone like me.Furthermore, and something that will matter to others probably more than me, is the bottom trim piece came nearly cracked in half to the point in snapped during assembly. Now because this is going in a sports equipment room, and won’t be seen by the general public, it was not worth sending it all back as the piece is largely just for aesthetics. With that said, if this was going in an area others would see, I would have been livid that this piece came as damaged as it did and broke so easily.
