Delta Children Universal 6 Drawer Dresser, Greenguard Gold Certified, Grey

This is my second dresser that I've purchased. The first one I purchased for my first child 2 years ago and the second one I purchased for my second child a few weeks ago. The company has definitely improved their product... The instruction manual is more clear. Be sure to read and follow every single detail, don't assume anything and don't skip reading or looking at steps - it's much faster if you follow the instructions perfectly and look at the diagrams. If you don't understand the instructions, look at the photos and you'll figure it out. Make sure to have everything positioned as it appears in the picture before installing hardware.All of my screws went into their positions with ease. Just as a head's up... My top piece (the largest and heaviest piece in the set) arrived with the wood slightly bowed, however, after installing the side pieces, the bowing became flat, so don't worry about that. Also, and this is a huge tip: when you're removing the runners from the tracks to install them onto the sides of the drawers, you have to do one at a time because you cannot remove the runners to take off the track unless all the others on that side of the dresser are closed. This dresser is set up where each half only allows you to open one drawer at a time, the others remain locked... It's a great safety feature for young children to make the dresser less likely to topple on them. But, just be aware of that and don't try to do more than one at a time. Once you install the drawers you'll hear a pop sound and that's fine - it's the runner clicking into the track. Also the drawers are difficult to pull open and close at first, but you just do it several times in a row and they loosen a bit. They're not intended to pull in and out quickly, but what's great is they open and close reasonably quietly and never tip right or left or get off track like some dresser drawers.This is a nice, quality sturdy dresser. I also appreciate that the wood has a coating over the paint that makes it waterproof, as long as you don't cause a dent. You can literally wipe any mess off with a sponge or scuffs off with a magic eraser very easily. It's great! I know because I have had my first one for over 2 years and it's been through 3 moves and done well. This second one is exactly the same, just came with an easier instruction manual.Overall it's an easy build. I'm a 41 year old woman and got it done in 2 hours while watching a movie and a show, after my children were in bed. I stopped to eat snacks, grab a drink, etc., took my leisure time. I wanted to be accurate and make sure I built it well. It could be completed faster if you don't have distractions and want it done faster. What's great about this dresser is it's a quiet build - there are no power tools required, so feel welcome to do it at night when others in your home are sleeping. I removed and cleaned all of the pieces from the box before my family went to bed because that part is loud. There's a lot of pieces of styrofoam inside the box, but it's great because I didn't have one single dent anywhere on my dresser pieces. It did take me like 30 minutes to prepare the boxing for recycling (removing tape and cutting down pieces), throwing out the styrofoam in my trash can (I breath the pieces into smaller ones so that they can all fit in one trash bag. I'm environmentally conscious and it's worth it to me to recycle correctly and as often as possible. Things that aren't prepared for recycling properly generally get sent to the dump, so that's why I make an effort so they can actually be recycled.One more tip - you can move the dresser by yourself if you have a under-carriage roller. Mine is pictured - I lifted the dresser and had my 5 year old slip it underneath the center portion so I could move it exactly where I wanted without breaking my back. And it was great. If you don't have onet, this dresser is definitely a two person lift, because of the heavier weight and the longer width.Anyway, I can definitely recommend this dresser! I've got 2 and they're wonderful for children and can fit all the clothing for one child or 2 little children inside one dresser. The drawers are an average depth, not as deep as adult dressers, but not as shallow as some come. I fold my children's clothes (aged 5.5 and 3 years old) so that a lot can fit into their dressers. We like the appearance of these and how sturdy and functional they are. I hope you find the review helpful! :)

Great dresser. I read several mixed reviews on the locking mechanism with the drawers, but the locking mechanism can easily be taken off. My husband popped it off in less than a minute with no damage done to the dresser. Now all the drawers will open at the same time.I’m sure it would void warranty though.Yes there were a lot of parts, but my husband appreciated how organized the hardware was.

Nice dresser and I love the safety features on it. Have to tell visitors how to use it because they think it is broken otherwise. Very happy with the quality.

Update: I’m changing my review from 1 star to 4 stars. I was reminded that this dresser has a locking system, so only one drawer per row can open, and I feel a lot better about the dresser, and I’m actually glad that it has that feature! It was frustrating to think that they were just getting stuck, but they haven’t actually been getting stuck. The interlocking feature works PER ROW, meaning one drawer on each side can be open at the same time, but only one side per (vertical) row. I’m changing the amount of stars that I give this dresser, I just wish it was closed on the bottom and that the wood wouldn’t split apart or have some little splinters sticking out in a few areas. We also need to obtain a babyproofing securing safety setup for this dresser as the one that came with it was unraveling.Original review:This is a beautiful dresser, but it has so many challenges with it.• It has no bottom, and the drawers don’t reach all the way to the sides or the back, so it’s not a closed dresser. The bottom of the dresser is just open.• The drawers keep getting STUCK closed, and one of the screws broke from trying to pull one of the drawers open.• The safety strap that fixes the dresser to the wall is fraying / unraveling.• One of the drawers is not aligned properly where the screws are supposed to go, and one of the screws would just not go in no matter how I tried to secure it.• Some of the wooden boards for the drawers were already split apart, and one of them started splitting from the screws.• Some of the paint peeled off of one of the drawer handles from the plastic stuff that it was packaged in.I’m a busy mom, and I’m really disappointed about this dresser.
