Sauder Shoal Creek 4-Drawer, White

The first thing I need to say is that when purchasing anything online you're going to have to take something of a leap of faith, because there's always the possibility that the product won't be exactly what you expected, that it might not align properly with what you've already got in your house, and because there are going to be so many contrary reviews over it. I spent over an hour reading various reviews on this site and contemplating whether or not I wanted to take the time to purchase the product knowing that I might not be happy with it because someone else wasn't. At the end of the day I went ahead and did it and i'm glad I did. Personally, I think some of the complaints people have over the product are silly. For example, if any of the pieces in the product are missing, chipped, or even broken (Something that can happen, with the latter two often being an unfortunate part of the shipping process) the company allows you to call them directly and have replacement or missing parts sent directly to you. Sure, take a star or two off for the inconvenience, but don't let that impact your view of the final product itself. I didn't have any missing products. Nothing came chipped or broken. The directions were included and were very clear to understand. I want to take some time to emphasize that last part, because another product I purchased on Amazon around the same time (A bookcase) came with terrible instructions, with little writing that actually explained how the pieces were supposed to be setup and placed together. The instructions for this explain every single step, which I appreciated because I want the process to go perfectly the first time. The only part I struggled with was aligning the drawers properly at the end of the process. However, the directions actually state that some might have this problem and that you'll need to adjust how tightly you have certain screws in. Trust me, this might seem like something you don't have to worry about (The tighter the better right?) but you really do, because in some cases you need to have them in tightly, but not to the point that it stops you from being able to slide the drawers in. It only took me a few minutes to make the proper adjustments however and by that point you're at the end of the setup anyways, so I don't think it's a big deal to ensure you get what you want out of the dresser. I put this together myself and it took around 4 hours. I would suggest having a friend help you out to cut down on the time, but it's possible to do it on your own if need be. Have a hammer and screwdriver on hand when the product arrives and beyond that enjoy the product. I think its well worth the money and that it would look great in any bedroom. Couldn't be happier with it.

Absolutely LOVE this dresser! It’s beautiful, great quality, and super easy to assemble! It is a perfect size for an adult, child, or infant. Has plenty of drawer space and is a perfect height (pictured with baby clothes). I left the handles off (pictured) because I’m going to get a matching pink set for the nursery, but the ones it came with are still nice. It came well packed and protected; not a single scuff or scratch on the item, despite the box being a bit beat up. It is a little on the heavy side, but that’s because it’s all good quality and not cheap boards. Still pressed boards, but not at all flimsy. So, I’m 38 weeks + 5 days pregnant. I moved this inside, unboxed it, and put it together all in under 1 hour 40 minutes. Ignore reviews complaining about all the pieces, the need for shots, etc. It’s not difficult at all! Simply line up similar pieces together along the wall as you unbox it, then go through the directions one page at a time. You’ll need a hammer, a screw driver, and a drill if you have one. The drill can be used on almost all screws; don’t use it on the big white screw locks, and don’t drill the drawer slides 100% tight- the drawer slides need to be able to be adjusted with the silver piece (pictured). I love this feature because I was able to match up the spacing for all the drawers, so it looks even and nice. The drawers have a bottom piece to reinforce them, so no more hassle of the bottom falling out of cheap dressers! Almost everything screws together, which is so much more sturdy than tiny nails or little wooden dowels like other brands use. This dresser is good quality and requires more effort to assemble than your basic dresser from Wal/Targ/Ikea/etc. But like I said, simply line up the pieces and go one page at a time. It really is not hard at all, and is worth the little extra effort and time because it’s so beautiful in the end. Ignore the negative reviews about this being so hard to assemble or requiring alcohol (insert massive eye roll). I’m less than 2 weeks from my due date and this was easier than tying my shoes (little prego humor)! Haha

Time consuming to assemble but well worth it for the price and quality.

I have waited 7 or 8 months to rate this to see how it holds up. So far so good. I bought this for my master bath, extra storage. It is great. I looked at several dressers and decided on this one because of the reviews and the aesthetic appearance. It also had a deal where you could pay it off in 5 payments, no interest, bonus! I didn't have to put it on a credit card or pay for the whole thing at once. My bathroom cabinets are cream distressed wood. It's decor is a periwinkle, light hydrangea blue. I wanted a statement piece. Just a note, I don't own any dark furniture in my whole house. It's all cream colored from furniture stores. So black and put together was a really big out of the box for me. I was scared. This turned out to be a good decision. I have it really full. The first two drawers are for every day stuff, mouthwash, toothpaste, make-up, hairspray etc. So it's holding pretty heavy stuff. The third drawer is extra towels and it is packed. The fourth is for the extra stuff that we don't want to run out of. Cottonelle wipes ( the big pack ) heavy, tissues, stuff like that. So in a nutshell these drawers are full of heavy stuff and the are holding up great. When I ordered this it arrived really quick. It was SUPER heavy. Lots and lots of pieces. Did I mention lots of pieces? I wasn't even going to attempt to put it together. Dad to the rescue! He put it together in one afternoon (he is 82) it had all the pieces we needed. There were no broken or chipped boards. I believe it was a good value for the money. It looks just like the picture. It's a matte finish. I would buy from this company again. I wish there was an option to have it arrive already put together.

First off, it's a dresser under 200, so my review is based on price and not what I would dream to be the most perfect dresser imaginable. The good: Despite what many review, I found the directions to be really good- it does rely on pictures a lot which I like better than words. Be aware though, the first step tells you to put in the ez locks on 2 other boards without photos, besides this, everything seemed really well thought out without the typical grammatical errors that I expect with assembled furniture. It does seem to be sturdy despite not being real wood, I don't anticipate this not working anytime in the next 5 years as long as it's not abused. I think it looks really nice, the door knobs/handles were really nice and it's tall which is nice for us tall people. The bad: I don't know why they would put stickers on the finished side to identify parts. The stickers should of been on the unfinished side. I had to clean up sticker residue after getting it assembled. It took me about 2.5 hours to assemble but I had all tools available and a large space to work in with nothing in it. I would recommend having lots of space to separate all the pieces and if your not used to assembling furniture like this, it will probably take 4 hours. A couple pieces are showing some marks on the edges where there is no paint- it seems like it might get marred up pretty easy. Overall impression: Not bad, a couple of improvements and a better coat of paint and this thing would be a steal at the price. It's about what I expected, didn't blow me away but didn't disappoint either. As far as the other reviews talking about drawers sliding and alignment issues, I think that might be installation issues. I took my time to align the drawer tracks in the center of the screw holes on each drawer. My drawers come out smoothly and they are perfectly aligned so I didn't have any issues with this. I
