Review on πŸ› οΈ SONGMICS ULGS45H: Industrial Style 5-Drawer Dresser with Wooden Front and Top - Perfect for Living Room, Hallway, Nursery by Chrissy Ramirez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Withstands a lot, simple construction, great price.

A few quick notes TL;DR: It took about 15-20 minutes to unpack and assemble everything. The instructions are very easy to understand and I could probably do without them. Two people are recommended for safety reasons, but I did well on my own. It is slightly larger than the picture shows, so if size is important, please measure the space with a ruler first. I didn't care so I didn't do it. It's flexible when you first assemble it because some of the metal is thin, but I don't think it's fragile. Don't play football with him I guess. With cross supports, it is much more stable. It's fairly light, so if you travel a lot, plan on moving soon, or just can't lift heavy, uncomfortable items and don't have outside help, this is a good choice. Some legs may be a few millimeters uneven, but this can easily be corrected by adjusting the legs provided. Here's the full review for more info: I try hard to reduce the size of my clothes and the space they take up for maintenance. Although I'm in the middle of it and not quite finished yet, this chest of drawers can withstand a lot! So far I've stuffed the drawer with thick socks and another heavy pair of pajamas and after assembling the dresser worried it might not hold up. Everything is fine and I still have plenty of space. I bought a second dresser (slightly smaller) before getting this one and now I'm not sure I'll be able to fill it, especially after parting with other things. not as flimsy as some of the other fabric boxes I've had. They're still just cloth and cardboard, as the seller points out, but the cardboard is pretty stiff. This may change over time with use, but you can always reinforce it with pre-made wood and fabric braces if you want to avoid waste. Personally, if you have a lot of things that might be sticking out on the sides, you should consider buying a second one or downsizing a bit. This one had a 3-5mm difference between one of the legs and the rest which caused it to wobble. a little. This was easily remedied by orienting the device so the injured leg was off the ground and rotating the leg until it was touching the ground. I have the same shelf from a similar brand. Overall this is perfect for what I need. I wanted a lightweight unit that could hold most or all of my stuff, fit in a small space, last a while, and be easy to move around, unlike a large wooden dresser. I'm pretty sure that if I had disassembled and reassembled it to move, it would have survived pretty well.
