Easy to put together.JasonI like the locking system to prevent tip-overs. I love the non-handle look too. Easy to put together and everything lined up properly as well. Use the app to help plan your room! Made things way easier for me.4
HorribleDaisySo hard to assemble and took two weeks to even get delivered not worth it1
DisappointedKSize and look are nice. I have two main problems with this. 1) I picked this out in the store (not online, where it has the anchor warning). You CANNOT open any drawers without the anchor mechanism in place. I did not know this. After I had installed all the drawers, I couldn’t open any of them. After some time I realized what had happened, and could not access the anchor mechanism because it was against my wall and I am not strong enough to move the entire piece alone with all the drawers in it. (Though I did try, which was way more dangerous than whatever calamities the anchor is supposed to save you from.) I live in an apartment building where I cannot drill into the wall. In the end, I tied a rope around the anchor thing and forced it to stay open after much difficulty. 2) It is LOUD. The runners are loud and the drawers click shut. Really not ideal if you share a bedroom and don’t want to wake up your partner. I wish I didn’t buy this but not worth disassembling and returning.3
Nice designAleksandraCompared to the 6 draw Hemnes I assembled, this was easier! If you follow instructions carefully, it doesn’t take too long to put together. Took me about 3 hours. Though I’ve assembled lots of Ikea furniture myself, including a bed. Pay attention to the railings, they all look the same, but are marked left and right, and the ones for the draws are marked different too. Look for that. Maybe that’s why some people were having assembly problems. Also, you need to install the top draw first (per instructions), then bottom draw and work your way up. That worked best and it all came together well, and works and sits perfectly. The draws are not bulky but are deep and spacious. It’s a nice design/quality and not bulky. Looks nice in the bedroom.5
What I wanted! TaskRabbit for the win!KristenI was initially nervous after reading some assembly related reviews, so I chose IKEA’s TaskRabbit option. I even sent the assigned Tasker some of these reviews and a YouTube video I found on how to assemble this exact item, just in case. He confirmed that many people struggle because IKEA mostly provides images with minimal written instructions.
It took my Tasker about an hour to assemble the chest. This product is solid and has some weight to it. I honestly don’t see how anyone could claim it feels cheap. I love it, and it’s exactly what I needed. I almost got a similar fabric version from Amazon, but this one is better quality and looks very modern in my room.
Long story short, don’t rely solely on the negative reviews. Many reviewers may just not know what they’re doing. To eliminate frustration, get a professional to assemble it, and you’ll be as pleased with it as I am.5
Assembly TipHannahWe've been using Storklinta products and we're quite happy with them. This is the first five drawer we have purchased and assembled. As with any unassembled furniture, instructions must be followed carefully. We took the first piece apart twice to correct our errors. Pay careful attention to the two thick, smaller interior pieces shown in step 5, the holes are not drilled in the center and it's easy to install the piece upside-down. You won't know until the drawers won't go all the way in and you might be baffled about this for a few minutes. You will have to take most of the unit apart to correct this.5
Pleased with the dresser.BernVery pleased with the dresser. The narrow width doesn't take up too much space, but the drawers are roomy. For those of you self assemblers the safety drawer set up can be removed.5
Exactly what I neededKateIf you look at the instructions very very carefully, you’ll do fine. The bad reviews helped me be more diligent in my attention. I was able to put this together by myself in about 3ish hours (I didn’t work continuously). It’s a sturdy small chest of drawers and is exactly what I’ve been looking for. 5
Perfect for my needs but...JulieBefore building any IKEA item in the future I am going to read through the reviews first! This item has a very important detail in the instructions missing. The two thick boards that are in the dresser for support MUST be put in with the holes along the sides closest to the top of the thick board. We got it completely assembled and realized that two of the drawers would not go in all the way because they hit the supports. IKEA needs to edit their instructions to point out this VERY CRUCIAL detail.3
Love itYudelkaThis pice was great easy to assemble and the price was also great5
👍🏻Jennifer👍🏻5
Amazing BrendaI love itt very spacious 5
Drawers dont fit if you dont interpret the instructions correctly TaviaPut entire dresser together and two drawers didnt fit. There should be clearer instructions to ensure this doesn't happen. Maybe add a sticker stating top or bottom to help installation is done correctly.1
Perfect size for small guest roomMarlaThe Storklinta was easy to put together, and is the perfect amount of storage for our small guest room. 4
Good Quality, Easy to AssembleAngelicaGood quality, easy to assemble.4
Very AngryCarissaI have put together a lot of IKEA furniture without issue. Not only is this dresser extremely heavy and difficult to manage for one person - the instructions are very complicated. One of the weight shelves I installed upside down ??? Honestly not sure because the instructions are so unclear and now the drawer won’t close properly. The cam locks are already installed so I can’t take the dresser apart. I’ve never been more upset putting together a piece of furniture. After 4 hrs of work I have nothing to show for it. Honestly, I would not purchase this dresser if I were you! 1
SturdySonyaSturdy as a stand alone and fits nicely inside a closet, which is what I did for storing smalls. Lots of assorted pieces in this line to fit everyone's needs. I needed help putting it together but once assembled it looks great. Safety regs want it attached to a wall and if you can't accommodate this highly recommend step, you can only open one drawer at a time so it doesn't fall over on someone. 5
5 drawer chestKarenNice style, pretty design, but poor quality.
Drawers do not pull out smoothly and material seems flimsy. I have bought other chest of drawers from IKEA and have been happier with the quality. Disappointed in this brand.3
Great DresserKatelinLove this dresser! It fits perfectly where I needed to put it. I am glad I did read the reviews as I saw that the stabilizers in the middle needed to be flipped in order for the drawers to clear them, make sure that the "screw holes" are facing the top instead of the bottom during building and you won't have an issue with drawer clearance. Took me about 3 hours to complete with a friend. Very sturdy, I would highly recommend!5
Great dresser but a taskMichaelThis dresser is a challenge to build. I build many IKEA pieces in past, this was much more difficult. But in the end I love it. Very solid and smooth drawers.4
