Reviews
Beautiful, stylish, sturdy, awesome!Anonymous reviewerThe negative reviews almost put me off. But, knowing IKEA, I knew I could safely buy this and love it.
And, oh boy, she's a beauty. One person (me🤗), can assemble it in 3 hrs 50. Note that the hinges have an L and an R, which is crucial. Getting the hinges right took a while, but that was through my own stupidity. The drawers took just an hour to build.
The angle at which they have to go in, in order to grab the hook at the back of the hinge, is exact. I did practice a few times on the top drawers, before getting to the dreaded bottom one. But it all went smoothly.
I don't know why people commented about them not opening fully....they open more than enough for me.
IKEA never disappoints me and I always have faith in them. Buy Buy Buy. It's gorgeous 🥰
Bedroom furnitureAnonymous reviewerGreat, easy to put together, the drawer mechanism is a new design and was challenging at first to get fitted.
Looks lovely but poor quality, badly designedAnonymous reviewerThe chest itself looks lovely, but the drawers are an issue. Why do they open so little? Even cheaper ranges of IKEA chests have more range with their drawers— lots of wasted space at the back. Also, it's really hard to align them, I've spent hours trying to get them to align properly, and they just won't. They are wonky no matter what; therefore, they rub against each other when opening/closing them. Quite disappointed as I love the look 😞
Beautiful chest of drawersAnonymous reviewerThe colour and quality of the wood is just right. It did take a little while to assemble but not too hard. Yes, the drawers don't open fully but I have no problem accessing the back of them so not sure what other reviewers mean! Great purchase.
Solid piece Anonymous reviewerThis is a good solid chest of drawers and the finish colour is a lovely pale matt.
Very poor drawer design Aug 2025Anonymous reviewerThe item looks very nice - as reflected in the price. But be warned the design of the drawers makes it very difficult to attach to the unit.
Also the runners for the drawer are VERY sharp - I have a lovely razor cut scar on my forearm to prove it!
This happened whilst lying on my back trying to align the ridiculously designed drawer runners!
Not happy IKEA!
Great drawers. Still looking good a year onAnonymous reviewerReally happy with these. Also have the side tables. Use them daily with no issues.
Amazing chest of drawersAnonymous reviewerI'm surprised by the bad reviews. Yes it doesn't open the whole way but I have no trouble accessing bits at the back. The drawers are incredibly spacious and run smoothly. I've been using our one over a year now and it's perfect. I paid double for other solid wood furniture from elsewhere which is a pain in the behind to use. So, extremely happy with this purchase.
Absolutely rubbish top of chest bowedAnonymous reviewerIKEA really has gone to pot recently. Customer service is nonexistent and so difficult to get any problems resolved. This chest of drawers arrived with a significant bow in the top. Do not buy!!!
Looks fab but drawers don’t open all the way!!Anonymous reviewerLove this unit and it’s perfect for my nursery…but the drawers only open 2 thirds. Is there a way to change this. It’s mental that you can’t access all the items at the back.
DisappointedAnonymous reviewerI have always had great and sturdy products from ikea but this one doesn’t fit that description. The drawers constantly come off the runners, the screw fixings at the side pop out and then the fronts come off. It feels flimsy and doesn’t hold much- I’ve just got babies clothes in there but you can’t fill the drawers even half full. We constantly have to try to fix this product but I’m about to throw give up it away. It’s a shame because it looks nice and was actually quite expensive.
Sturdy but drawers don't open all the wayAnonymous reviewerHard work to assemble but sturdy once built. The big disappointment is that the drawers don't open all the way- you can't access about 1/4-1/3 of the drawer space because they don't open that far.

It should look nice but….Anonymous reviewerIt should look nice but it’s the first time I have been disappointed so much by an ikea product! I have the rest of the Bjorksnas collection, the bed frame and the bedside table, and they are so nice. They look really good and stylish! I thought I would complete the collection with the chest if drawers as they look also so beautiful but it’s the first time I had so much trouble with an ikea product! To start, two of the handles came faulty/ damaged! Two out of eight! Spare parts are out of stock, unsure when they would come back in stock and no option to reserve the spare parts when they would restock! It’s just a matter of keep calling over and over again in hope you may be lucky to get them! Furthermore and more importantly, one of the screw holes for the base of the chest of drawers is completely misaligned so impossible to put the screw through and fix the base properly! So assembly of the whole unit is not possible! It feels that the quality of the item definitely has gone down compared to rest of the collection while the product’s price gone up!
Super piece of furniture IAnonymous reviewerSuper piece of furniture I fact have ordered a second one. Slightly tricky to assemble -tip- you must stick to the instructions at all times.
Nice solid wood pieceAnonymous reviewerA good piece of furniture. Only shame is that there isn’t a half-width 5-6 drawer tall version in the range.
BeautifulAnonymous reviewerVery happy to have purchased these chest of draws. Spacious draws, stylish and matches my BJÖRKSNÄS bed frame.
Anonymous reviewerGood quality chest of drawers - very pleased with them
