Hodedah 7 Drawer Jumbo Chest, Five Large & Two Smaller Drawers with Two Lock, Hanging Rod, and Three Shelves | Mahogany, 17.76" D X 47.24" W X 48.39" H

The directions indicate it should take 2 people 1-1/2 hours to assemble. Not on your life. It took me 1-1/2 hours to merely unbox everything in order to identify all of the pieces and hardware and an additional 12 hours to complete the assembly. And I've constructed many similar units over the years! That aside, the directions were well written and easy to follow but you MUST also review the installation diagrams for proper assembly. The components were all labelled alphabetically or numerically and fabrication was true and square. All pre-drilled factory holes were exact. No extra hardware is included, so be careful not to misplace even the tiniest screw. I counter sunk most visible screws so as to have them be totally flush with the finished surface. I also pre-drilled guide holes for the dozens of small screws that must be installed for the drawer rollers. Time consuming, true - but necessary! I also installed floor protectors on the bottom of the unit. All in all, It came out well, the finish is fine, BUT... I don't know if I would do it again. It was a lot of effort, and considering the value of my time, I'd probably buy an armoire pre-assembled.

The media could not be loaded. I bought a house in April and I've bought a lot of flat packed furniture over the last few months. This was by far one of the worst I've ever tried to put together. I ended up having to pay a carpenter/home remodeler $100 to assemble it! So after the initial cost of the furniture, it still cost me another $100 to even be able to use it. After over five hours of attempting it myself, I was ready to throw it in the trash. After it sat in my living room floor, taking up every bit of free space I had for 2 days while I was completely stuck trying to figure out what to do next because the pieces i need didn't have stickers on them to identify them, I finally broke down and called my very skilled and reliable handyman with a contractor's license. It took him 4 hours to complete, and he said the instructions were completely worthless. This man builds houses for a living, and still couldn't make sense of the instructions. Pieces were missing stickers to identify the parts, and none of the hardware was identified at all. The instructions didn't even mention where to put the dowels, but he ended up figuring it out through process of elimination. There aren't even holes drilled on the drawers to put the screws in for the tracks!When I finally got it put together, the drawers don't slide easily. They catch and it has to be jiggled just right to get them to open and close completely. I'm assuming this is because the tracks are made for multiple products, featuring many screw holes that aren't used, they didn't provide enough screws to put them where the instructions said, and there were no screw holes or screws for the sides of the drawer to keep the track flush with the drawer. I'm going to have to go to the hardware store and find more screws of this type to make the tracks fit properly. So, more money on something that is supposed to be fully ready to assemble with everything included. Not only is the functionality of the drawers a complete pain, but all 3 locks require different keys. There is no way I'll be able to remember which key unlocks which drawer/cabinet, as they all look the same.Then to add insult to injury, all the hardware is silver on a black piece of furniture. Their solution to cover this isn't plastic caps as I've seen in many other setups. No, instead it provided stickers. Little black stickers with fake wood grain printed on them, and most of them weren't even there. I don't understand why they wouldn't just use black hardware instead of requiring a bunch of stickers to be stuck onto the furniture that will collect dust and eventually fall off anyway. My handyman sat his drink on top of the dresser while he put the drawers in, and it left a ring that bloated up. There was not enough moisture on the cup to be concerned about, but apparently, any moisture at all will ruin this hunk of junk. I had planned to put a mirror behind this and use the top for makeup application, but now that I know it can't handle moisture in even the tiniest amounts, I definitely won't be doing that.This comes in two boxes and is extremely heavy. I had to open it in my garage and bring the pieces in my house a few at a time. I regret this purchase so much, but it would be impossible for me to take it apart and try to get it to the UPS store to return.I found so many similar pieces on facebook marketplace that were already put together, cost a quarter of the price, and were much better quality, but I made the mistake of trusting this brand instead. I bought Hodedah furniture about ten years ago, and my husband and I put it together with no issues and couldn't have been happier with the purchase. I trusted the Hodedah brand because of past experiences with it, and that was a huge mistake. I will never buy another piece of furniture made by this company again. They have become cheap junk just like the off-brand stuff that doesn't even come with instructions in English. I actually bought a piece of flat packed furniture from Temu for $40 that was better quality than this.Don't waste your money!

I love this dresser. It’s nice and big. Perfect for mine and my hubby’s clothes. Couple reasons why I’m giving it 4 stars is a few things, the instructions were a bit difficult to understand, it took a couple hours to assemble, the wood was a bit chipped, the dresser came in two boxes one box came one day and the other the next day witch was a bit confusing because the first box that came it only had a few pieces of wood no nails. After I put the order in I saw it was a 2 star rating on it and I read the reviews I was very nervous about the product. But over all I’m very satisfied with the dresser. It was well worth it. Also it seem that they took extra measures to protect the wood inside they put foam around the edges of the box so the wood wouldn’t break I thought it was very well boxed up. I do want to say though I am one of those type of persons who does not go based off of other people’s reviews because I like to see it for me self. Same as with food some people say is the best they’ve ever tasted but my tast buds may be different from others so I’d like to tast it myself. my point is don’t go based off what other people think or experience themselves because who knows you may have a better experience yourself.

UPDATE: This dresser is still excellent. It scratches easily so it got scuffed moving but nothing too horrible and still very sturdy. Locks still work, drawer bottoms aren't warping and we have it PACKED. I'd recommend keeping the heavier clothes in the bottom drawers. When it's not very full (especially when on carpet) it can get a tiny bit wobbly if the weight isn't distributed well. Overall I'm still thrilled with this purchase.Not a single scratch on anything, all parts were there but this will come in 2 shipments. I got the 1st box Tuesday and the 2nd box on Wednesday. I did all of the "pre assembly" plus assembled the 2 small drawers on Friday (took about 4 hours), then did the rest Saturday (took about 5 hours). I did most of the assembly by myself but did have someone help me when it came to putting the larger pieces in place. Would have been extremely difficult without a second set of hands. The reviews and sheer volume of pieces was intimidating but it wasn't actually too difficult. It feels very sturdy and comes with the pieces to mount it to your wall if your concerned about it falling. I'm not, it stands strong so far. I'll update in a few months to let you know how it holds up but I'm very happy with this product overall.
