Exactly what you think it will be
I was wary when reading the reviews - some people think its great and some don't. I will say it was one of the heaviest boxes I have gotten delivered. That being said I thought that the building of it was very easy. I had two people carry it in but I built it myself in around 2 hours (and if you had another person helping make the drawers it would have been faster. This product is significantly cheaper than other dressers and I am very happy with it. Also a tip - the handles are what make it look cheaper so I got new handles from Amazon for 15 dollars that are gold with 3.75" hand pulls and now it looks super nice! I recommend this product.

Defective Product
The top was cracked and needs to be replaced. It came like this out the box. It was not fully broken in half so I was able to assemble the dresser. I would love to have this replaced if possible. Thanks (or I would have gave this 5 stars/easy assembly, good instructions, well manufactured)

    Arrived damaged.. twice!
    If I could give 0 stars, I would. Though the packaging looked undamaged, 2 pieces were damaged upon opening the box. Part of the bottom drawer was cracked and falling apart where the screws go, and the holes didn't line up properly. The back piece of the dresser, which was super thin, was damaged and didn't line up well. I strongly suggest finding an item that is not so poorly made. Customer service offered to send a replacement, which arrived today after being delayed for 2 days. The replacement item arrived severely damaged. The package looks like it fell apart, exposing the already fragile and weak material, and was then tapped up again. the packaging also looks like it sustained water damaged(it was not raining at all the day it was delivered). Not worth the time and hassle

    Was this even the right dresser?
    I ordered this dresser in “Rustic Oak” received this color. Which I'm fine with because i always wanted something more grey. The manual inside the box said amerihomes and not mainstays? The box said mainstays. I was very confused what dresser. I received. One of the drawers will require us to attempt to fix it because when we were putting it together the holes were stripped too big already.

    Good deal!
    Caught this dresser on sale and I'm glad I took the leap of faith and gave it a chance. For the money I was pleasantly surprised at its sturdiness. That was my main concern. My only complaint is the color was off vs the pic online but for the price I'll get over it.

    The quality is really bad, don't be cheap
    I just bought two chests of drawers in the previous one, the quality is very poor. After I installed them, I found that the wooden boards are bent down, and the drawers can't be closed. I don't have a box to pack them. How can I return them? I can't even install them. Take it apart, the customer service attitude is very poor

    Nice Dresser 10/10 would recommend!
    Found this dresser on sale at $69 and hopped at chance to get it! The set up wasn't too bad, only took me a few hours by myself(directions do state that 2 people are required for setup). There is a locking mechanism on the dresser I found hard to lock at certain angles (I did cut myself on the sawdust side while doing this) but most of my issues came from being 7 months pregnant putting a (heavy) dresser together while my husband was at work. For me this is a great dresser if you need something and don't want to break the bank. It's a nice size as well can fix a 43" TV and Xbox just fine so a bigger TV without the gaming system could also work.

    Great for the price. Perfect for nursery.
    This dresser is perfect for my sons nursery. I am 7 months pregnant and could have put it together by myself. It's very basic assembly and they did a good job of prepping the pieces for you. It's better than having to put together every single thing like some furniture. It's not your $1000 furniture but you should not expect that for under $100. This a great but overall.

    A true, HONEST review!
    Here's the thing… my husband and I just bought a house and have 0 furniture other than a bed. We're trying to furnish a whole house on a budget but still keep it cute. I saw this dresser and thought “it's $90, what's it gonna hurt.” It's not the worst thing in the world, but it is cheap! Pros: -it shipped super fast -the product was not damaged at all -really easy to put together -it is FUNCTIONAL Cons: -the color does not look like the picture at all (I expected this) I ordered the rustic oak and it came out more like a dark gray/brown color. It looked lighter in the picture -DO NOT USE POWER TOOLS TO PUT TOGETHER none of the screws would fully secure into the wood. Context: we used a drill and usually when the screw catches, you know. This continued to spin in the pre-drilled holes which caused some screws to just pull right out. Once we switched to hand tools it helped a little. - Be super careful moving the parts around before they are all fully fastened together. They will rip out the screws and you won't be able to re-drill them. - the drawers don't fit exactly right (probably due to the wonky screws) I gave it 2 stars because we are still using this dresser. It is functional. I don't know for how long but it is what it is. It is a pretty color, just not what I was looking for. It is a very cheap product but like I said, I expected it. All in all: good enough for now, but not great!! I will be replacing it once we get the money!

    I'm Happy!
    I'm happy! You truly get what you pay for with this and i was able to snag it on sale for $69.00. And I love it. took about an hour to put together, with my daughter....im sure we took breaks. But it's exactly what I wanted. The Dove Gray color is beautiful and i will be buying the tall 5 drawer dresser to match soon!

    its a okay dresser. pictures are decent.
    putting these together will strain your family relationships and turn into arguments. half the stickers that identified the pieces were missing so I while making sure everything was there i had to make sure that they were all correct. its for my son and we got him 2 but we had to take a break after the assembly of one and seek counseling. thanks dresser.

    Damaged product
    I ordered night stand and dresser. Both parcel were left in rain. Both were wet. Now packaging is destroyed so I am not able to return any of stuff. Particularly dresser as it's heavy to carry by myself. Walmart doesn't have pick up service from home for returned item. Not sure how the product is gonna be but delivery was bad. Product is also scratched from inside and twisted likely because of being wet. But I had to discard this wet furniture pieces. Walmart only partially refunded. I would not suggest to buy from Walmart.

    Broken and of poor quality
    The top drawers do not close. Mine came with a crack on the top surface that prevents both top drawers from closing. Walmart now demands that I take this 100lbs dresser to the store so it can be returned. At the end of the day, it was a big waste of money.

    Particle wood damaged when shipped to Hawaii
    Instructions were easy to follow. I took multiple breaks while putting it together. Good workout. Unfortunately due to shipping, the top corner of the drawer was damaged. The manufacture didn't have spare to ship to me. Material wise, it's very cheap. Particle wood, plastics supporting the corners of the drawer.

    Do not reccomend
    It kept saying it was on the truck for delivery that day and then kept delaying. It finally came and the syro foam packaging in between each piece was shredded and was static clinging onto each drawer and also just got all over everything. We spent 30 minutes or more just wiping it off of the drawers. The top part wasn't even so the left top drawer doesn't fit right and sticks bad. You barely touch it and the paint scratches and chips. Cheapest piece of furniture I have ever seen. Not worth more than $10.

    Great price
    I was worried when I read the negative reviews but I saw it was on sale for $79! It came quite dirty when I took out all the pieces but I didn't mind wiping it down. The back board could be cut better to fit evenly, but it was fine. I followed the instructions and everything turned out great without any issues. If you're looking for an affordable option this would be a great choice.

    Finally bought a dresser
    if you live apartment to apartment like me i was always living out of my closet and couldnt afford a decent dresser. this thing is perfect. i doubt itll last going thru a move but its thin enough where its doable without breaking. i had zero problems or backtracking when putting it together the instructions were perfect and easy. i did it solo so its possible without a buddy, but assemble in its final resting place its heavy moving by yourself. the drawers dont pull out very far but for $80 thats the only fault i could find. feels sturdy, doesnt look cheap or flimsy. im very satisfied. it says not to put a tv on it. i have a 40 inch with a center base and it seems more than fine.

    Very good dresser!
    Honestly I was contemplating whether I should or shouldn't purchase this dresser and I just went ahead and purchased it. I have never put any furniture together in my live and when I say this was the easiest thing ever, I seriously mean it!! The instructions were so simple, took me a day to complete it but honestly it's so worth it! Very cute and has plenty of storage room. It came a little chipped on the bottom drawer but honestly it doesn't bother me.

    Easy and clean
    I love the style. It was easy to put together by myself. All the pieces were available. The only thing that didn't give it a 5 star was one of the drawers is slightly misaligned on the tracks. Not enough for me to have to send it back but it is definitely noticeable. Other than that it's a great addition to my room. I also change the knobs because I went down a Pinterest rabbit hole.

    Not bad. Not great.
    CON: Packaging came looking real rough. Which I should have guessed something could be wrong with a piece. I was right. It wasn't completely broken but came damaged and I was worried it would snap. There is no way I would be able to get this thing back to Walmart though. Took a star off for these issues. PRO: It's a decent dresser. It's cheap that's for sure but if you're wanting it for an extra room, get it. Easy to put together especially with a drill. Definitely takes 2 people if you are lugging that thing up any stairs. She thick. but one person and put it together. I had everything put together in an hour tops. It does what I bought it for.

    0/5 Stars, would not recommend
    Long story short. Got my dresser on Friday, go to put it together and a piece is snapped in half, contact the company and they don't have the part in stock, contact Walmart and they send out a replacement once I send back the first one. Before I send it back I get an email a new one shipped. Got the replacement today the same piece is cracked and the top piece of the dresser has a huge crack in so we are sending it back and will not be purchasing again
