Sauder Shoal Creek 4-Drawer Chest, L: 34.72" x W: 18.58" x H: 42.68", Jamocha Wood

I have waited 7 or 8 months to rate this to see how it holds up. So far so good. I bought this for my master bath, extra storage. It is great. I looked at several dressers and decided on this one because of the reviews and the aesthetic appearance. It also had a deal where you could pay it off in 5 payments, no interest, bonus! I didn't have to put it on a credit card or pay for the whole thing at once. My bathroom cabinets are cream distressed wood. It's decor is a periwinkle, light hydrangea blue. I wanted a statement piece. Just a note, I don't own any dark furniture in my whole house. It's all cream colored from furniture stores. So black and put together was a really big out of the box for me. I was scared. This turned out to be a good decision. I have it really full. The first two drawers are for every day stuff, mouthwash, toothpaste, make-up, hairspray etc. So it's holding pretty heavy stuff. The third drawer is extra towels and it is packed. The fourth is for the extra stuff that we don't want to run out of. Cottonelle wipes ( the big pack ) heavy, tissues, stuff like that. So in a nutshell these drawers are full of heavy stuff and the are holding up great. When I ordered this it arrived really quick. It was SUPER heavy. Lots and lots of pieces. Did I mention lots of pieces? I wasn't even going to attempt to put it together. Dad to the rescue! He put it together in one afternoon (he is 82) it had all the pieces we needed. There were no broken or chipped boards. I believe it was a good value for the money. It looks just like the picture. It's a matte finish. I would buy from this company again. I wish there was an option to have it arrive already put together.

The first thing I need to say is that when purchasing anything online you're going to have to take something of a leap of faith, because there's always the possibility that the product won't be exactly what you expected, that it might not align properly with what you've already got in your house, and because there are going to be so many contrary reviews over it. I spent over an hour reading various reviews on this site and contemplating whether or not I wanted to take the time to purchase the product knowing that I might not be happy with it because someone else wasn't. At the end of the day I went ahead and did it and i'm glad I did. Personally, I think some of the complaints people have over the product are silly. For example, if any of the pieces in the product are missing, chipped, or even broken (Something that can happen, with the latter two often being an unfortunate part of the shipping process) the company allows you to call them directly and have replacement or missing parts sent directly to you. Sure, take a star or two off for the inconvenience, but don't let that impact your view of the final product itself.I didn't have any missing products. Nothing came chipped or broken. The directions were included and were very clear to understand. I want to take some time to emphasize that last part, because another product I purchased on Amazon around the same time (A bookcase) came with terrible instructions, with little writing that actually explained how the pieces were supposed to be setup and placed together. The instructions for this explain every single step, which I appreciated because I want the process to go perfectly the first time. The only part I struggled with was aligning the drawers properly at the end of the process. However, the directions actually state that some might have this problem and that you'll need to adjust how tightly you have certain screws in. Trust me, this might seem like something you don't have to worry about (The tighter the better right?) but you really do, because in some cases you need to have them in tightly, but not to the point that it stops you from being able to slide the drawers in. It only took me a few minutes to make the proper adjustments however and by that point you're at the end of the setup anyways, so I don't think it's a big deal to ensure you get what you want out of the dresser.I put this together myself and it took around 4 hours. I would suggest having a friend help you out to cut down on the time, but it's possible to do it on your own if need be. Have a hammer and screwdriver on hand when the product arrives and beyond that enjoy the product. I think its well worth the money and that it would look great in any bedroom. Couldn't be happier with it.

I love, love, love this dresser. I do not usually write reviews, but my experience with this purchase has tempted me to write one. I took one star off my rating for the chest because of the time it took me to complete the set up.The package was delivered when I was at work, so it was left outside the house. Carrying it inside the house, over 4 steps was really difficult for one person as it was very heavy.The item was very well packed, and nothing was found damaged. I unpacked the box downstairs and carried the parts upstairs a few at a time. The chest was darker in color than shown on-line, but I did not mind too much.I made sure I checked each of the items in the box against the diagrams in the instruction booklet (manual), and was lucky that nothing was missing. I also counted all the hardware, and set them in groups for when I would start the assembly of the chest.I had read several reviews of the chest before deciding to buy it, so I was well prepared for a long assembly time. I read the manual several times to get the idea of how the assembly will ‘flow’.I was particularly grateful to the reviewer, who stressed the importance of not rushing the assembly of this chest, and of carefully following the diagrams in the manual. The end result is a great looking chest, which took a really long time to assemble (I did it by myself, taking breaks as needed, and spread the assembly over 2 days – Saturday and Sunday).The instructions were confusing at times, and not all the items were labeled. Working from the manual, I assigned labels to all the items without labels before beginning the assembly, and this helped a lot. Once the main chest is assembled, make sure that you put on the back piece before standing the unit upright!!After putting in the drawers, balancing them so that they close smoothly and without gaps was a real pain, but fairly easy to do by tweaking the cams? on the left side of the drawers, put in for this purpose.I find the safety feature of this chest quite useful, and even though it is not made of real wood, this is a beautiful piece of furniture, and really good value for money. All in all, I am very happy with my purchase. If you buy one, make sure you take your time to put it together, and follow the instructions very carefully.

Will take a fair amount of time to assemble, and I highly recommend that you get a nail gun to strengthen.
