The dresser is large in scale, heavy and well built. It came assembled except for the feet, and this was really a main reason for choosing it. The draws are not soft close, but are smooth and fixed so you can’t pull them out. Overall I would say not heirloom quality but a very good buy for our guest room, and I would even put this in a master without feeling like I compromised. I expect to get several years from it, and the light color is really timeless in terms of fitting with different decor styles. Overall a great value for the money spent.
