Laguna 5 Drawers Espresso Lacquer

We bought this product six months ago to go with the Graco Lauren crib and changing table in the nursery. Even though the color isn't thee same they go very well together. The drawers seem to be kind of little, but you can put a lot of stuff in there: 1) diapers (cloth); 2) towels and blankets; 3) sheets and mattress protectors; 4) hats, gloves, socks; 5) and we even have one to keep miscellaneous objects. It was really easy to put together. I was 9 months pregnant and assemble it almost by myself (I couldn't wait to see it); I only needed help from husband once. We really like this product.

This is a nice looking dresser, but the construction design is poorly design. When i was building the drawers. I notice on all 5 in the back that the only thing keeping these drawers from coming apart in the back is two 3/4'' wood rode glue together on each side with some cheap glue. I did not trus that glue, so i use liquid nails glue instead. And as far as the chest meaning the body it self. That is poorly design too. As i build it and put it together i notice that on each side of the body their are only two screws and about 5 wooden rodes that you need to glue before you put together. I didn't use the cheap glue they provided, again i use liquid nails glue instead. The was ok their are 4 screws and 4 wooden rodes. Another thing to point out. You will notice when the draws are close on the top of each one, the place where you put your hand to open the draws there is a 1'' gap along the top of face. That 1'' gap is a entrance for bugs and small animal to get in to your clothes. I think you'll be lucky to get 2 or 3 year of life out of this dresser before it comes apart.. In my opinion! This dresser is $119, over price! This sould-of been price at $75 to $80 because of cheap and poor design. I know all this because i am a carpenter and a fabrication specialists. I don't recomended. I hope this review is helpful to you.

THIS DRESSER WAS DEFINITELY WORTH THE MONEY AND TIME TO ASSYMBLE. YES THE BOXES WERE HEAVY, YES IT TOOK ABOUT 3 HOURS TOTAL, BUT NO REGRETS BECUASE IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL, DRAWYERS ARE SMOOTH AND STRONG. I USED SMALL AMOUNTS OF WOOD GLUE FOR MOST DOWEL JOINTS. ONLY A COUPLE OF REALLY SMALL KNICKS FROM THE PACKAGE BANDING WERE FORGOTTEN ABOUT ONCE PUT TOGETHER AND SO PROUD AND SATISFIED WITH MY EFFORT. SPENT MORE TIME JUST CLEANING UP ALL THE PACKING MATERIAL. DIMINSIONS PROVIDE FOR LARGE SURFACE AREA AND ROOMY DRAWYERS. OH YEAH I DID HAVE TO DRILL OUT THE HOLES SLIGHTLY TO LINE UP THE SLIDES FOR THE DRAWYERS. A RUBBER MALLET WAS USEFUL ALSO TO SEAT MOST JOINTS.

There was damage on the product, it was on the bottom of the two side pieces. The only two large pieces in the box. It was simple to put together. The drawers are not very deep. Probably 5 inches if that. The drawers are screwed into the sliding rails so if you want to remove them you have to unscrew it before removing the draws. All in all it servers my purpose for now. I will buy something for about $400 next time. Probably in 3-4 years. You get what you pay for, buy cheap get cheap. :)

We bought the dresser because it matches our bed, once finished it looks nice. However while we were assembling the dresser we had a few issues, when we put one of the pieces in that holds the two main sides together it came all the way though the side, so we had to glue the piece back on, so we then had to do a quick measure on each of the plugs to make sure they were not too long. Also the dresser is on a carpet if you try to move it along and drag it, the bottom chipped off. Other than all that for what you pay for the dresser it does look nice and the drawers all work very smoothly.
