Toulouse White 6 Drawer Chest
Reviewed in Canada on March 3, 2020 Color Name: Gray Oak Verified Purchase I was a little hesitant to buy this because of the reviews. But after getting it put together, I'm pretty sure the bad reviewers just didn't put it together properly because for such a cheap piece of furniture I am blown away by the quality of this dresser. The instructions were very clear and I was able to assemble the dresser by myself in about 2 hours. If you make sure everything is TIGHT and follow the instructions the dresser comes out perfectly. It is quite sturdy for what it is. It feels very secure even with all my stuff in it and my fish on top. No wobbling or anything. Great purchase for 200$ you seriously can't go wrong here. 5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect and beautiful I was a little hesitant to buy this because of the reviews.

Images in this review Reviewed in Canada on May 16, 2019 Color Name: Pure White Verified Purchase I bought this unit based on it's overall width - it had to fit the recess! So, I didn't pay as much attention as I should have to the drawer size. But first, this just in. The box is HEAVY and my UPS guy had had a complete sense of humour failure over it's weight. Then you have to assembly everything. I'm a handy guy and it took me three hours+ and I didn't make any mistakes or any do-overs, either. Then when you put the drawers into the cab you discover that there is a gap of three or four inches of unused drawer space at the back! WTF? You pay good money for a product designed and marketed as a storage device and then discover that - hey if you wanted the whole space used, you should have ordered the deluxe model . I gave it 3 because I feel cheated out of 30% of the available capacity!! Reviewed in Canada on December 13, 2020 Color Name: Pure White Verified Purchase For the price, this chest is standing out. It is made in Canada, which what we were looking for (BUY LOCAL!). It has metal rails, drawers slide out and in nicely. Assembling was easy (done lots of these so easy if you have some experience). Somehow we messed up with measurements and this unit turned to be larger than we thought ( our bad really), so it won't fit where we intended, but we found a way around and it is now perfect. Bottom decorative piece (non weight bearing) came damaged. We still assembled it no problem. We then ordered a replacement via manufacturers website. The replacemrnt piece was shipped next day for FREE and arrived in 4 days. Outstanding customer service! Thanks South Shore people, we will look for your brand near time we need something! 5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding customer service! For the price, this chest is standing out.

Images in this review Reviewed in Canada on May 27, 2021 Color Name: Pure White Verified Purchase Great for a small space. I had a specific space I needed this dresser to fit into & it fit perfect. Nice quality for the money spent. Was unbelievably time consuming to put together. My husband is great putting things together & is pretty good at this type of thing. It took him over 2 & 1/2, almost 3 hours. It's super time consuming to put together & requires a lot of room to lay everything out. He also said that nothing was labeled so it made it very time consuming sorting it all out & figuring out what goes with what. However once it was put together it's a nice piece of furniture & looks great in my baby's room. Reviewed in Canada on April 29, 2021 Color Name: Pure black Verified Purchase I just finished putting the chest of drawers together on my own. It's looks great! Normally I get fustrated putting furniture together and I tend to have to redo steps, but not with this item. Well worth the money, it's over 100 lbs and sturdy...It comes with a wall brace in case you have young children that tend to climb furniture 😳 I have also ordered a dresser and looking forward to it's arrival. Very pleased with my purchase. Reviewed in Canada on April 6, 2018 Color Name: Pure black Verified Purchase this dresser is garbage, I had it a month and threw it out, it did nothing but fall apart. The drawers keep falling out and almost broke my toe. DO NOT BUY THIS, IT IS HEAVY, MADE OF GARBAGE MATERIAL. Their warranty is useless, I tried to send pictures and it would not go through. I bought a replacement dresser from IKEA, it was cheaper and made of real wood! There is NO real wood in this junky dresser, can not even burn it! Reviewed in Canada on April 19, 2020 Verified Purchase Useless product. I just use this for my 3 yr old sons cloths only. Nothing heavy. But drawers got derailed after 2 weeks and when I inspected found gaps between side walls and cross bars. The nails holding the cross bars losed even it was securied and it dammeged to nail holes. Now drawers are on top of each other, not functioning. Waist of money. Dont buy. Poor matirials and design. Reviewed in Canada on October 8, 2014 Color Name: Pure black Verified Purchase Exactly as promised. Good value for the price - nice color - matched the other items in the room, size was just right for a smaller baby room and was made of pretty sturdy material...it did take my husband a little longer than usual to put together as there are 6 drawers that have to be constructed and nailed together. The bottom of the drawers were a little thinner than the rest of the materials but I've had a previous dresser with drawers similar to this that lasted for 10 plus years, just don't over-over pack things...one note is that the package that it comes in when shipped, is so heavy the delivery guy couldn't lift it by himself - he had to push it up the driveway to get it to my house but it was packed well and nothing was damaged.

The kit is well made and well finished. The hardware is first class and ALL the holes are perfectly positioned and sized. I made the drawers first (to reduce the inventory of parts) and it was a breeze. I brad-nailed the bottoms to all the sides to stop rattles.
I had no trouble making the cabinet. Note that the drawer glides are stamped L and R - but not easy to find at first. Solid construction for this type of cabinet. MDF 2/3 of the back plus 2 cross struts also MDF.

Absolute crap! The dimensions said 23.5" and the seller replied to the same question as 23". The product is actually 26"wide!!!!!!! We have an area that is 25", and after hours of assembling due to shoddy instructions, we go to put the unit in, and lo and behold, it is 2.5-3" bigger than described!!! Then I find out all 3 dimensions are wrong, even though the box says it's the correct item! Amazon tells me I have to disassemble and send back to get a refund. Are you kidding me???? This is completely unacceptable and shame on you, seller AND amazon!!!! Stated dimensions: 16.5x23.5x52"
Actual dimensions: 19"x26"x50"

I was a little nervous about ordering due to the negative reviews but it was the perfect dimensions for my space. I was truely impressed by the wrapping for shipping when I opened the box. These negative reviews must of been a few years ago and I believe the company might have improved its shipping wrapping because I had no broken pieces. It took me a few hours to build because there are a lot of parts so keep everything spread out and separate as you build. The instructions were easy to read. Make sure you follow every step including the part when it says if you think it's tight enough screw it tighter. Their right keep screwing till your hand hurts and the screw goes around more. Those reviews that said their drawers fell apart just needed to screw the board screws tighter and use wood glue and you would of been good. I would not compare this wood to IKEA it's much better and heavier . I can understand how people think it's weak because it does chip if your rough with it but just apply a thin layer of glue like your painting to the exposed edge and corner parts and your good. The drawers all had their own bag of parts separate from the other screws used for the base which was nice because you weren't confused on the screws. The drawers are more spacious then I thought and fit my kids clothes just fine. Adult clothes would not fit well unless it's for sock, undergarments or light weight t-shirts. -all in all I am very happy with this dresser. It's heavy nice particle board wood for a cheap price. If you want real wood then go buy expensive stuff. But I would say those bad reviewers got lemons and those were a few years ago but I had no broken pieces and everything fit together as it should. Use wood glue for extra strength.

Product arrived on-time and packaged well. Let's be upfront, you're not bequeathing this pressed board furniture to your ancestors, but it will definitely serve it's purpose for my teenager in his first years of college. Assembly: Give yourself plenty of time to put this thing together - there are a ton of pieces! I have a touch of OCD, so I'm the guy who pulls out the instructions, reads through them prior to assembly, counts and organizes all the pieces (this helps quite a bit when reading the instructions and knowing what pieces to use) and makes sure I have all the tools required, which are: hammer and screwdrivers (philips, flat, and square head). All in all from start to finish, it took about an hour to put together. NOTE: Wood glue is not provided and probably not required, but I like to put a dab in the dowel holes for added security. I've provided some photos so you can get a sense of what it includes and the depth of the drawers.

Fairly easy assembly. Hardest part was finding where i put the screwdriver that i just had in my hand 2 seconds ago. Heavy, so assemble close to where you will put it. I did not, and sadly this doesnt come with any kind of felt or protective feet/floor guards. So i had to drag/slide it across the house on an flipped over rug. Seems very sturdy, it took the trip on the rug like a champ. Went together without any issues. Was packaged very well, nothing was damaged. Drawers slide very easy, almost too easy. They fly open and closed with ease. Was wider than i was looking for (wanted one around 20" wide, this is 26") even though the listed dimensions are correct it somehow seems bigger in person, and i needed something that wasnt too exspensive, the price on this was right so i made it work. The drawers wont hold much, theyre not very deep at all, one drawer might hold roughly 4-ish pairs of jeans. Just for a guest room so it wont get used much hopefully it will last a while. Today is day one so I cant review its potential lifetime durability. But overall it works great for what i need and i am 5 star happy with it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Particle board but nice if you make some additions.
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2017

These ended up being the perfect dimensions for what I needed. I ordered two of them and while they were a pain to put together, the finished product is not to shabby. Now bear in mind, this is a sub $200 dresser. If you want real wood and drawers that are perfectly in line then spend $400 and get one. For this price, this is about the best you can get. These took about 3 hours each to assemble by myself with the largest amount of time spent on the drawers. If I never have to assemble another drawer for the rest of my life I will be a happy man. I recommend you buy a large amount of wood glue. I glued everything!. The dowels, the clip locks, the seams, all of it. If wood went to wood, it got glued. These dressers suck if you cant glue them. They get wobbly and unstable because the particle board isn't strong. Basically, I would never recommend anyone buy anything made out of particle board for their furniture unless they are going to glue everything together. If you put some extra work into it you can come out with a decent and inexpensive piece of furniture that should last a long time.
