Tvilum 8 Drawer Double Dresser, 15,85" D x 55,12" W x 32,17" H, Oak

This dresser does come with its challenges. The directions completely lack direction it’s more of a picture guide. However with that said it is pretty self explanatory once you pass the first few steps and it came out beautiful. It was definitely worth it and we love it.

Product came in two separate boxes. The instructions say it takes 1.5 hours to assemble, however, that is not the case with 2 people. More like 3+ hours with experienced assemblers . You almost NEED the 3D instructions to assemble. The instructions that came with the piece were not clear and the most of the pieces were not labeled correctly. All of the hardware came in one giant bag mixed together which was also a little confusing. The brackets (for the drawers) almost need to be installed more towards you (front) so the drawers come out with reasonable space. There were also holes more towards the back of the drawers that were not used for anything, so we ended up filling them with screw plugs. At some point I will probably replace the drawer handles with something else because it’s just flimsy plastic. Otherwise the product looks really nice/great quality and is perfect to hold just about anything.

I like to assemble furniture but this one took me a whole afternoon but over all it came out looking great

They are gorgeous and exactly the look I was going for in my bedroom, but my husband has already pulled off 2 of the front of the drawers trying to pull them out further. They only pull out 8", but there is 13" of drawer space. I was able to place the drawer fronts back on to the screws and dowels provided when purchased but they were no longer sturdy and easy to pull off again. To fix the problem, I first placed wood glue, then added 1" metal brackets to the inside of the front of the drawers. DO NOT USE THE SCREWS THAT COME WITH THE METAL BRACKETS, they are too long! I used 1/2" screws. I also drilled new holes 4 inches back from the front on both sides to add the slider thingys (no clue what they are actually called) which gave me 12" to pull out the drawers rather than 8". Hopefully this helps someone who has encountered the same problems as I have. If it wasn't for those problems I absolutely would have given a 5 star review. I almost did right after we got them together, but decided to wait a few weeks just to be sure they were perfect.

This dresser is much better quality than I expected to get, given its price. Came in two heavy boxes, packed in copious styrofoam. You will need a variety of tools to put it together; I found a rubber mallet, Phillips screwdriver, and a cordless drill with assorted bits to be very useful. They provide a hex key which is pretty useless - on a large number of the screws, a star bit proved better than a hex bit.... There is an enormous number of fasteners of various types - I have put together a lot of kit furniture, and this one took me several hours... The directions rely on illustrations with few verbal instructions, and the various furniture pieces and packages of screws, etc., have no labels on them whatsoever to help you refer to their drawings. I'd suggest putting this together in a large area where you can lay out the pieces and fasteners to enable you to easily reference the drawings (which are correct, but lack detail). The safety strap installation is strange, but works... Lastly, there are pre-drilled holes in some of the pieces for both dowels and MDF screws - those holes are easy to confuse, as they are about the same diameter (refer carefully to the drawings)...It was a fairly challenging assembly, but when you're done, it is a sturdy, nice-looking, serviceable dresser for a very low price - I would recommend it only for someone who's had good experiences in assembling kit furniture.

As a Prime member this product shipped quick, which is always a plus. The price is a little much but not too far off from being fair. As you know, this unit has 8 drawers; 4 left, 4 right. Each drawer has a storage space that is 13" deep x 25" wide x 5" high and extends out at 7" from the inside of the drawer. If this drawer extension length is insufficient, modifications can be made to the sides of the drawer. Due to the drawer slides being recessed into grooves on each side of the drawer, I recommend pulling the drawer slide back to allow for desired drawer extension. Drilling new size matching holes will be required at that point. The bottom of the drawer is thin. It will hold weight, however, I would refrain from pushing down in an attempt to stuff the drawer full. The pulls are cheap plastic but effective. Don't over tighten. I caught a few small mistakes I made shortly after attaching the slides. Pay CLOSE attention to the layout. Making mistakes early will bite you later. I have experienced applying back panels as this product indicates and I must say I am not a fan. The product did ship in 2 seperate boxes, so this configuration allows for the shipping size to be smaller. Sort out all of your parts. The parts came as a hodgepodge bag. Pay close attention to the screw sizes. Defer to the parts list page for sorting. Once sorted it makes it MUCH easier. This is a nice dresser, but understand the quality of your purchase. It is not a 12 screws and your done dresser, nor is it a soft close dove tailed dresser, either. Treat it like trash and that is what you will end up with. Lower the price anywhere from $20 to $30 and this would be excellent.

In the end, this dresser is great and perfect for our needs. However, don’t plan for this dresser to take the 2 hours and 2 people to assemble. Plan for 2 people, about 6 hours, umpteen cuss words, and a few screw ups as the instructions are nowhere as clear as you’d expect. But all that stress and frustration will reap positive results! It is just like the photos, sturdy, and I would expect it to last much longer than the Target/Walmart/IKEA furniture.

I like the look of this dresser very much, but the assembly was difficult due to the poor instructions. Also, some of the drawer pieces were already damaged/cracked when I first opened the shipping box. For anyone who is struggling, there is a YouTube video you can reference (search by the product name) which saved my life. I could not have built this without that YouTube video lol. Cute dresser though!
