Beautiful piece of furniture
I bought this and the Linea bed and think they are two of the best furniture purchases I've ever made. The teak is solid and super-heavy, and the quality is very high. It is true, as other reviewers have mentioned, that some teak dust rubs off of the dresser and onto your clothes, but it isn't a significant amount, and I've been able to dust it right off. None of my clothes have been ruined from it. It is a gorgeous piece, and if you live in a studio (as I used to) it makes a great combo media unit/dresser too, given the shelf. If you are looking for the dresser with the biggest capacity, this isn't it, and I wish it had six drawers, but if you want a beautiful piece that everyone will compliment, this is it.

Sharp looking dresser
We were looking for a dresser that could also act as a media cabinet for our bedroom and this worked perferctly. I like the size, the wood, etc. My only initial issue was that it looked like it was stained (and very unevenly) when it first arrived. Fortunately by reading the other reviews I knew I needed to wipe down the inside of the drawers, but I also did the outside of the dresser. And it seemd to do the trick. It must have been dust, or something that came off with a damp cloth.

Linea is a great bedroom set
We have the entire bedroom set in the Linea line and really like it. The drawers in the dresser and nice and big/deep and the wood is beautiful. The only complaint is that about a month after we got our dresser, the wood on the top split at the seam. We had to have a new one delivered. Not sure how/why that happened, but otherwise we have had to issues. Over all a great piece of furniture!

Linea Bedroom Set
I ordered the dresser, mirror, and bed. These pieces are very nice looking in person. The drawers to the dresser open and close very easily and the bed is a great height if you prefer to use only one mattress, no box-spring necessary.
A major downside is that the wood stains anything coming into direct contact with it, including brushing past the bed. I will definitely have to line the entire bottom and sides of drawers, including the wood panels on top of the drawers. What a hassle.
I wish the Linea set offered a tallboy or chiffonier instead of two standard size dressers.

Sophisticated touch
Although we're still waiting for our nightstands to be delivered, I'm thus far happy with the Linea Dresser. I love the clean lines of the design, it lends a sophisticated air to the bedroom, and the teak smells fantastic!
To echo the previous review, there is a fair amount of "wood dust" that must be cleaned before putting anything inside or near the dresser. I didn't have the same experience of my clothes being stained, but I probably won't risk putting fine fabrics or white fabrics in direct contact with the wood. After a good wipe down, however, our dresser was fully functional.
I give this product 4 stars as opposed to 5 because it does require a bit of work to get it in working order.

Important to Know
Before purchasing items (particularly dressers) from the Linea collection, please be aware that the unfinished teak will stain your clothing and other items stored in the drawers. I purchased an entire bedroom set, and after putting clothes in my new dresser drawer, I found that the wood stained my clothes. The wood on the outside surfaces appears to have been adequately cleaned (they only bleed color if you wipe them down with a damp cloth, as all unfinished teak does), but in the manufacturing process, they forgot to clean the insides of the drawers. I spent many hours wiping down the drawers and trying to get rid of the dark, thick, dust-like substance, then giving up and lining every surface in the drawer with contact paper, before being able to use the dresser.
