The drawers are very sturdy and glide in and out quite easily.  I was disappointed though that the pictures do not clearly show the diagonal lines/pattern on the front of the dresser.  Looking more closely, I can see them (barely), but the pictures did not allow for a close-up view.  I probably wouldn't have bought the dresser if I had seen that pattern on it.  Fortunately, this is going in a closet.  
The dresser also arrived damaged.  The base was cracked and completely off kilter.  We had to remove it - but then the bottom drawer would not open since the bottom of it sunk into the rug.  We had to prop the front up with a piece of the base -  just in the right place - to get the drawer to open.  
Needless to say, I'm a bit disappointed in this dresser.  Although it seems very sturdy, and the drawers slide very nicely, the pictures are not detailed enough, it took forever to arrive,  and then arrived damaged.
