Great Dresser
Assembly was a breeze. All of the messy assembly, i.e. wood glueing wooden pegs, is done for you and all you have to do is screw in pieces. Quality hardware and an excellent dresser. Due to reading previous reviews we aired out the dressers in a spare bedroom for a week and placed baking soda capsules in the drawers. The smell went away with no problem. We are pleased with a quality product.

Great looking, but the smell is aweful
We bought the two nightstands, 4-Drawer Chest, Chifforobe, and the bench. They are beautiful pieces of well made furniture. We paid someone to put them together and it took him 6 hours to do the five pieces.
The main issue we've had is that since we have bought them, over a week and half ago, we have been forced to sleep in our guest room because of the smell. It is starting to go away a bit, but if you spend too much time in the room you'll get a headache. We can't wait for the smell to go away because they are really nice.

beautiful dresser but smell was a problem
The dresser is a beautiful deep color and was very easy to put together. However, the smell of the stain rubs off on our clothes. We did not have this problem with the matching 6-drawer dresser.

overwhelming odor
I haven't been able to enjoy the Brighton Coffee 4 Drawer Chest because I've been trying to air it out for two weeks. It has such a powerful outgassing odor, 8 boxes of baking soda and 3 air purifiers have not fully gotten rid of the odor.
I'm hope the smell dissipates because it's very handsome, very sturdy, and the perfect size.

Great Chest
Sturdy and stylish. For the price, by the far the best in class. Disposing of the foam/packaging was worse than putting it together as well. Highly recommend this entire set!

Lovely!
I bought this to make up for lack of closet space in our new house. This fits perfectly in our room and it is so beautiful. I bought the mirror as well and it just makes our room look very very nice. I assume it was easy to put together because my husband did it in about 45 minutes, I never heard a curse word come out of the bedroom, and he was very happy when he was done. It just looks very nice for ready to assemble furniture and I am pleased with it. I hope to get the bed and maybe nightstands soon!

Love it so far!
"I have to tell you that I love this set! It goes together very easily and instructions are excellent. Nice solid wood and bed is very sturdy. I like no box springs and I also purchased the storage drawers... looks really great. I've had no problems with the finish but it's had limited use so far (only used about a month). We did purchase glass to cover the dresser and nightstand tops based on other reviews which indicated they had problems with surfaces. I am sure a lot depends on how rough you are on your things. I'm very careful... my husband, not so much! ;)"

Sturdy frame, wobbly drawers
Overall, this isn't a bad piece of furniture. It is certainly better than the $200 particle board specials at discount stores, but it is clearly not a piece of high-end furniture. The basic cabinet frame is sturdy, but the drawers appear to only have hardwood faces. The first screw I put in (to attach one of the sides to the front) stripped out with very little tightening. I expected hardwood (or at least plywood) sides with masonite bottoms, but that is not the case. The drawers wiggle side-to-side. But, this product adequately fills a niche between the cheap, particle board dressers (around $200) and higher-end dressers for $1000 and up. As with all products in the assemble-yourself series, be prepared to dispose of a massive amount of styrofoam packing material.

nice compliment
This smaller dresser is a nice compliment to the larger 6-drawer Brighton which we already own. It was also very simple to put together and is very high quality. The dark espresso wood is very modern and this piece is very sturdy.

Terrific chest
I purchased this chest for a spare bedroom.
It looks wonderful, it is very well constructed, and holds quite a bit of clothing.
