Too Easy
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.

Very Nice
Looks great, but like a lot of other reviews mention, my clothes do smell like the stain when I take them out.

Unhapphy with My Purchase
This dresser looks terrific, however:
-The build quality is poor. The very first time I put clothes in drawer and tried to close it, the wheel on the slide broke off.
-It smells of moth balls and paint. At first I thought it was the styrofoam, but the smell is still there after one week. My clothes now smell of it too, and after reading the other review, it appears I'm not the only one with this issue.

Disappointed
I have had this dresser for 4 months now. I love the look of it and the quality seems good but the smell is awful. I thought the smell would go away naturally after a few weeks but it hasn't lessened at all. My sons clothes smell terrible. I would try putting the dresser outside for several days to air out but it is winter here so that is not possible. I did try putting baking soda in all of the drawers and left it for 2 weeks and that did nothing. I have heard other suggestions for absorbing smells so I will have to try them.

Arrived Slightly Dinged
Bought the entire set and this was the last piece to arrive off backorder. Noticed a discoloration and what looks like finish degradation on one of the top corners. Build quality is great and this is the only piece w/an issue (we have the set). Way too much trouble to send back for the cosmetic issue, but will be seeking a store credit for the trouble.

Well Built Quality Item
Well built dresser, high quality product. But took 2 months to have smell of the stain to go away and our cloths smelled like stain of the paint. Perhaps because it was shipped as soon as it was built as it was on 6 weeks back order. But would recommend.

Good, Solid Dresser
When I placed my order, it was backordered for several months. Surprisingly, it was delivered within less than two weeks. My 12-year old daughter and I put it together easily, with just a screwdriver. We had no problem with the smell at all. It is a beautiful piece of furniture and cost much less than it would have cost to buy a dresser already assembled. I have no complaints.

Great dresser for price
Overall this is a nice piece of furniture for the price. It's easy to assemble and seems sturdy. However, the smell from the stain is VERY strong. We had to open the drawers and the window in the bedroom to air it out for several days before we could use it.

Returned Item
This collection has an very strong paint/chemical smell. My wife and I returned after trying to "air out" the furniture for over 2 months! Good style construction but the overwhelming paint/chemical smell caused us to be very disappointed with our purchase.
Crate and Barrel customer service response was good, but I would have expected more from the actual product.

amazing quality
I was a little skeptical when I found I had to put this together, but it was super easy. The wood is very nice and the handles on the drawers made really nice accents. This was the first piece we bought in the Brighton set, and loved it so much we bought 2 more pieces.

Beautiful and a Great Buy
When the Brighton collection was introduced, I was shocked. It was what I had been searching for but had yet to find - until the mini-catalog arrived in our mailbox. Since we've sworn off credit cards and live on a budget, we decided to buy a piece at a time. We started with the dresser.
In true C&B fashion, it arrived very well packed. We assembled it with ease and were very pleased with the smooth gliding and sturdy drawers. It is a hefty piece of furniture and a great value for the price. The top is sturdy enough to support a 42" plasma TV without buckling.

Sturdy, stylish, and reasonably priced
I purchased a full bedroom set from the Brighton line, in white. As with the rest of the set, I am impressed with how solidly constructed the 6-drawer dresser is, and also how easy it was to assemble the whole set. To my surprise, once assembled, the drawers were solid, sturdy, and all the roller action mechanisms worked beautifully and the drawers closed fully without a hitch. The dresser, the night stands, the bed, and the storage bench are all handsome-looking and each is really a rock-solid piece of furniture. I ordered tempered glass (from a local glass company) for the dresser and night stands, just to facilitate keeping them clean and protecting the surfaces, this was an inexpensive addition (under $200 for all 3 pieces) that's worth the investment. Since assembly is required, and the pieces are all packed very well, be prepared to dispose of a lot of packaging material. You'll be glad they're so well packed because each piece was in flawless condition, not a scratch to be found no warping of pieces. Really, the whole set is very sturdy and a very attractive addition to the house.

Beautiful, but smaller than I anticipated
I ordered this with the king size bed and two nightstands and this was the only piece I was a little disappointed with. Beautiful wood and antiqued bronze knobs and very easy to assemble, but significantly smaller than I had imagined. The size of the bed and nightstands don't seem to match the size of the dresser. The ease of opening and closing the drawers is wonderful. The completed dresser is very heavy and stable. I recommend the entire Brighton collection, just make sure you measure out the specs before ordering.

Worth it for the money
I ordered the dresser on a Sunday and had it delivered by Friday. They were prompt with delivery and placed the item right in my bedroom. I didn't realize it was self-assembly. But it was much easier than expected. I needed my husband to help lift it once it was mostly put together, but I was able to assemble it quickly, and just with a regular screw driver. Now, the dresser is beautiful, sturdy, and larger than expected. I am really pleased with my purchase and have even gotten the matching 4-drawer chest!
