this dresser was exactly what we were looking for. we bought this for our 3 year old son's "new" room. this dresser is intended to be used as a child's dresser. the drawers and general small size are intended for easier access for the younger kids. the strap that comes with it is also bc it is intended for toddler or young children. you should always secure any large furniture to the wall for safety when children are using it. it is also easy for him to get into the drawers and pick his clothes out. all three of us love it!
