Not the Hemnes replacement I thoughtSamanthaThis was by far the hardest piece of furniture I've ever assembled - period. I've done BBQs by myself, TV stands, previous IKEA furniture and it took me and my husband 5 hours. The instructions were incredibly vague at times (when assembling the drawers, make sure the 3 tiny holes on the side panels are aligned the right way...not in the book - stumped us for 30 minutes).
Was looking for it to be a replacement for the HEMNES line for our nursery, but not sure it's exactly what I thought it was. Disappointing purchase. Glad we bought it on sale.3
Assembly and qualityStephanythis piece was terrible. Some of the pieces came damaged, the instructions were not very clear, at all the whole time trying to assemble the dresser was a guessing game and thank god for YouTube or I would have never got the dresser put together . The dresser took me hours and hours to assemble . And only partly assembled as a piece of the one drawer was damaged so I have to wait till I get the replacement piece to finish building the drawer . Extremely disappointed with IKEA. Especially cuz the dresser was not cheap . Overall the dresser looks nice but I do worry about the dresser lasting as the parts seem very cheap flimsy material .3
Love this dresserVioletBetter quality than I expected. Can't beat the price either.5
Smooth DrawersAnne-MarieLooks great, lots of room in the drawers. I swapped the white handles for black ones and it looks more high-end and modern. No regrets!5
Worst piece ever purchasedJenI have purchased many pieces of furniture from IKEA and this piece was terrible. Some of the pieces came damaged, the instructions were not very clear, and one of the main pieces came with the holes in the wrong spot. A quick google search revealed that many others have had the exact same experience with this dresser. Extremely dissapointed that IKEA continues to sell it with all of this negative feedback.,1
Great dresser for the wifeChrisShe enjoys this dresser because it has plenty of space for all of her clothes, and has a nice colour and design inside of the drawers. The locking function is great as well as a back up feature. 5
GreatOscarIt has been great. Solid structure, not super easy to assemble but we managed to do it (our first Ikea shopping).5
Cheap quality for price JaidenVery cheap materials. Have built many ikea products in the past without issue. It’s taken 2 people to put together and we’ve had to take it apart 3 times as the pieces are warped or something and do not sit properly together. Have been working on the piece on and off for over 3 weeks and we will most likely have to buy screws to get the pieces to actually stay together, thus ruining the outside look of the dresser. Very unstable dresser. For the time and money spent on the materials and putting it together, you’d be better off buying something from somewhere else that is pre built and better quality. 1
Good dresser/horrible assembly....JimEveryone knows that assembly can be challenging, but it's even more challenging when holes for drawer brackets are drilled in the wrong spot!
On Pg7 of the assembly guide the Ikea CL brackets are indicated for use, which is correct.
But on the CL side of the side panel, the middle hole is not drilled in the correct location, so the drawer bracket only has support with the end screws. I dad to drill new holes for the middle screws....which I have the tools to do, but if someone who doesn't have the tools when they get to this point, their drawer would have to be built with insufficient bracket support.
Once built, it all works fine, but this is a major factory construction error....needs to be addressed.
Otherwise, it's a solid unit...3
QaulityMickalI've had it 3 day no cloths in it and the middle leg broke the partical board it junk for the price it it. 1
Proper material MickalSeem so expensive for cheap material. Had for 3 days haven't even got cloths in it yet and the leg broke cause the partical board isn't sturdy enough to hold it properly. Very unhappy with the quality of this product. 3
Beautiful Sleek DresserRajinderLove everything about this dresser. Sleek modern design and drawers fits so much. Bought the glass topper to protect the dresser. Plus replaced the knob with beautiful crystal glass knobs. Also purchased the matching chest. 5
Lovely dresserAdeleBeautiful, big dresser for all ages of growth.5
Great dresser!SumandeepThis dresser is great! It fits a ton of stuff, and I love the clean, sleek design. Assembling it did take several hours since the instruction manual only had pictures to go by, but if you’ve built IKEA furniture before, you should be able to figure it out.5
A good sized dresserGerriThe drawers are a good size and what I was looking for.4
Gift for baby registry EbeThis was a gift for a baby registry (my first grandchild!) and I haven't seen it assembled yet. But the price, look, easiness of placing the order and next day pickup are remarkable points to keep buying at Ikea. 5
Great dresserKatieThis dresser is better than the HEMNES dresser! it has a sleek look, and good quality for the price. Overall very happy with the purchase! 5
