Prepac Astrid Tall Brown Dresser: 16.5"D x 19.75"W x 50"H, 6-Drawer Chest for Bedroom by Prepac - Perfect Chest of Drawers for Ample Storage

This 6-drawer white dresser is a fantastic addition to any bedroom or closet space. One of the biggest highlights is how easy it is to assemble. The instructions were straightforward, and all parts were clearly labeled, making the setup process smooth and stress-free — even for someone without a lot of DIY experience. The dresser feels impressively sturdy and heavy! The drawers slide in and out smoothly, and the overall structure is solid, with no wobbling or instability. It's a great storage solution, especially for smaller spaces where vertical storage is key. The clean, minimalist design blends effortlessly with any décor, and the matte white finish adds a bright, fresh look to the room. For the price, you're getting a reliable, attractive piece of furniture that delivers both style and function. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an easy-to-assemble, space-saving, and durable dresser.

So, I just finished assembling this dresser and wanted to write a review while the experience is still fresh in my mind. Before going further, let me say that I have assembled many different types of this "you-do-it" furniture over the years (and have the extensive and colorful vocabulary of curse words to prove it), so I feel qualified to give a review. First, this baby is HEAVY. The UPS man trotted it up to my doorstep on his shoulder and sat it down like it was a sack of potatoes, but I couldn't move it off the porch. Once hubby arrived home, we got the box inside (he had to use a dolly, I don't know what they feed those UPS guys!). The parts were very well packaged and all the pieces were there, which was exciting. No serious damage. A slight scuff mark on one of the sides, but since it was going in my closet, I didn't particularly care. Once I began to assemble the dresser, I was pleasantly surprised. (Yes, I assemble, my husband totes. This is why my marriage has lasted over 30 years). The pieces are really solid for this type of furniture. Also, the manufacturer went to some considerable trouble with the directions. They are actually very clear (rather than being written in a dead language that no one has spoken for a couple thousand years), and have many helpful diagrams. They even color coded some of the parts for those of us who have trouble programming a DVR. (Note: you do actually need to READ the directions and follow them even though we all know that real men don't need directions. And no skipping ahead!). I was one of the lucky ones this time and all of my pre-drilled holes aligned and joints fit. Even so, it took me about 2 hours to assemble because the manufacturer put some thought into this thing and made it sturdy. Once complete, I'm really pretty happy with it. Now, something that I don't particularly like. There's no bottom on the dresser. It's open to the floor. Also, the back doesn't go all the way to the floor. This is probably not an issue if it's going in your bedroom or your closet, but if you intend to put it somewhere for storage, you may want to attach some plastic to the bottom/back of the dresser so you don't have little creepy crawlies make themselves at home in your drawers. Is there a gap between the dresser top and the top drawer? Yes. But it's only about 1/4" and I haven't seen one of these ready-to-assemble pieces that doesn't have gaps somewhere. The drawers fit surprisingly snug, however. I also am not crazy about having the cams on the inside of the drawer where my clothes will go, but that's not a show stopper. They don't stick out so that they're likely to snag on my clothes and I'll probably forget they're there by next week. It would be nice if the manufacturer had included some of those little plastic covers that snap over the cams. Overall though, I'm impressed with the quality and I feel it is worth the price I paid. I would recommend this piece to others who are looking for something similar. (Hint: when assembling, the drawer bottoms sometimes have difficulty sliding into the groove on the drawer front. If you loosen the cams on one side of the drawer, you can slide the bottom into the groove and re-tighten the cams. Worked every time!)

I purchased it for a small bedroom space, and it has turned out to be a solid and functional choice — especially for the price point. Assembly & Labeling: The assembly process was straightforward. All the pieces were clearly labeled, which made following the instructions much easier. I’ve put together a lot of flat-pack furniture before, and this one didn’t give me any trouble. You’ll definitely want a screwdriver or drill on hand — and a little patience. Took about 90 minutes solo. Drawer Depth & Storage Capacity: Each of the six drawers offers decent depth. They’re not super deep — I’d estimate about 5–6 inches of usable internal depth — but they’re well-suited for clothes, undergarments, small linens, or accessories. The vertical design makes smart use of space, and it holds more than I expected for its narrow footprint. Material & Build Quality: The dresser is made of laminated particleboard, and while the body feels decently sturdy once assembled, the drawers themselves have plastic runners and drawer bottoms. These aren’t designed to hold very heavy items — so I wouldn’t load them with books or bulky electronics. That said, for everyday clothing and bedroom storage, it functions just fine. Sturdiness & Functionality: Once put together, the frame is stable and doesn’t wobble. The drawers open and close smoothly on the plastic glides. While not heavy-duty furniture, it’s more than sturdy enough for regular bedroom use. I’d suggest anchoring it to the wall if you have kids around — it’s tall and narrow, so safety first. Overall Functionality & Design: The dresser looks sleek with a modern brown finish that matches most decor. It’s not flashy, but it’s clean and functional. Great for small apartments, guest rooms, or dorms. The knobs are basic plastic — which work fine, but you could easily replace them to elevate the look. ⸻ ✅ Pros: • Clear labeling and instructions for easy assembly • Space-saving vertical design • Surprisingly decent drawer capacity • Modern, minimalist appearance • Affordable price point ❌ Cons: • Plastic drawer runners and hardware • Not suitable for very heavy items • Basic knobs (though easily replaceable) ⸻ Final Verdict: If you’re looking for an affordable, functional dresser with good storage and a clean look, this is a great option. Just manage expectations — it’s not solid wood, but it does its job very well for the price. I’d buy it again for another room.

Pretty good quality. It’s sturdy and it’s exactly as described and pictured. We were two people and managed to build it in 2.5 hours. The instructions were generally easy to understand. We were missing a piece and reached out to the seller and they sent it to us for free and fast.

We knew this was going to arrive in a flat box and that it would have to be put together. My adult son is very experienced at doing this. But after he has it halfway put together and starts putting drawers in. We see that the drawers don’t even come close to meeting each other on the top or the bottom, huge gaps! we live in Hawaii so there’s lots of bugs and geckos, and I didn’t want things running in and out of his clothes, not to mention the sticky residue from ocean air. Could’ve gotten one with fabric drawers, much easier and cheaper, but they don’t keep things clean. Tried To return it to Amazon, and of course to get it returned, you have to take it all apart again And try to box re-box! Obviously, we wouldn’t have put it together if we’d known it would be so poorly designed and made out of such shody materials. So you can’t tell that nothing fits until you put it together and then once you put it together, you’re asked to take it all apart again and try to get it back in the box and tape up to get your refund. So my son opted to get a partial refund and then try to buy things to try to fix it. I would have preferred to send back. but it was a lot of work to get it put together and then have to take it apart again, so I guess we are stuck with it,it’s just ridiculous! It’s hard to get anything in Hawaii. I have to wait a long time and when it’s something like this that had to fit in such a small tall but narrow space there weren’t a lot of options, but I expected better than this! One of the most aggravating things about shopping online here and this is true of Amazon and other places, Home Depot, etc. you look and look to try and find something good that you can afford the shipping and that will come at some point and then after you make up your mind and you go to order, that’s when they tell you that it can’t be shipped to Hawaii. They have my address they know where it’s going to. Why doesn’t it say doesn’t ship to Hawaii right in the beginning? Why does it wait until you get clear to the purchase point not just add in the cart but purchase point before they tell you that it can’t be shipped there, very frustrating, Just makes a difficult process that much harder.

Very impressed with how sturdy this dresser is, especially putting it together myself. It takes a little time, just because it is pretty thorough (how it makes it so sturdy) but none of it is too hard. Just make sure you check which way you put the rails on for the drawers, the left-right and front-back. I took a long time to find a dresser on Amazon that was NOT fabric drawers and this is ALL WOOD which is why it is a little pricier than some of the other listing. I love that It isn't super wide, so it fits better in tighter spaces. It looks so good, and I am even debating getting fancier knobs for drawers to make it look even better. Just 6 knobs to elevate it more

I ordered this and was really excited when it arrived in a few days after ordering. The next day after its arrival I opened box and the very top piece was broken. I was crushed as I was eager to assemble. Everything else appeared to be intact. Contacted customer service to find that they couldn’t just replace the broken piece but I would have to reorder and return the original I received. Being almost 70 years old I was worried about having to repackage and returning with box weight over 75 lbs. To my surprise when the replacement arrives I can contact customer service and they will send someone out to repackage and ship back because of the weight. It’s a solid piece and very pretty wood. Looking forward to being able to use this piece. I purchased for use in my walk in closet. So hopefully in a few days I’ll be able to give a complete review.

The only cons are that the illustration for the left and right drawer sides are reversed. Easy to notice and figure out. Also it’s very important not to tighten the black screws that go into the back of the drawer faces. The larger drawers take four and the sides screw onto them. Not the long black screws for the back of the drawer. But surprisingly they must know what’s going to happen, because they included two extra fasteners that broke before I realized it was too tight and not too loose. The instructions say 60minute assembly time. It took me 2 hours twenty minutes. It did say it was meant for two people to assemble, so therefore it was kind of accurate had I had someone helping me to cut the time in half. It is perfect fit for Childs bedroom closet. The drawers are sturdy enough. And seem to have a decent capacity to them. That is, if you’re going to be using it for baby clothes as I am. For an older kid, there might not be enough total storage for everything, but should be enough for each season… as in you couldn’t easily fit summer and winter clothes in here for a teen or adult. The previous closet sized dresser we had was one of those metal and felt like ones. Like a cloth drawer. It was terrible and wobbly and this, being real wood, is a step above the cheaper ones. It is heavy, but will not tip over for that reason. It’s not so heavy that an adult can’t move it around by themself. Drawers open nicely and fully, and it doesn’t have any “new product” smells. Packaging was great and overall the assembly was easy. It wasn’t necessary to have little stickers on everything so you’re peeling off “A” “B” stickers after assembling it. It has glass-looking knobs for the drawers. It’s just a cosmetic thing, but I would’ve liked a metal type like a dark brown or black. I’m sure I could buy a set to my liking should I find that it bothers me that much lol
