Venture Horizon 6 Drawer Chest - Oak

This was very easy to assemble. It only took a few hours. Easy to follow instructions. Perfect for my son's room. Highly recommend.

This is a pretty decent model for a build it yourself kit-- good price point, looks very nice, pretty easy construction, sturdy once put together and has a nice finish. However a few things--the top arrived with a dent in it. Good thing, however--I contacted the company and they quickly responded with sending a replacement-so thumbs up on customer service. The handles are plastic--not the strongest part but can live with them (am sure we could find replacements if we wanted, but don't need to). Biggest complaint is that the drawers do not have any stops, to prevent them from being pulled all of the way out. I actually made and attached some wood pieces (metal plates are also easily found at hardware stores) as stops. A bit of work but worth the effort. Overall pretty happy with this unit for the price.

Looks ok when put together. Drawers made of particle board. Time consuming to put together, but fairly good directions.

This is an attractive but VERY basic unit. Everything fits properly but the drawers don't slide easily, it's not very sturdy, there are no built in stops so if you're not careful the drawer opens all the way and can fall out, the drawer handles are plastic. But look, this is half the price of a solider unit and if you want to save money and it serves your purpose it might do the job very nicely. For my part I have to say that if I had to do it again I'd invest the cash for something a little better.

Easy to assemble and has a nice look. Color is nice. Drawer handles are nice. BUT, the drawers are awful. All of the six drawers have fallen apart almost immediately after put into use. The bottoms fall out, I have tried to glue with good quality wood glue (not the glue that came with the assembly kit) and when that didn't work, tried taping with duct tape. But that didn't work either. What a waste of my money. I really wish I never purchased it!

Looks good. If you're abhorrent to particle board or MDF, then you may want to reconsider. We bought two of these for our 6 & 3 year old daughters. So will more then likely be gone anyways by 10 years as they decide on their own styles.As for assembly, glue the dowels into the top first. We used Gorilla Wood Glue instead if what was provided. As that sets, assemble the sides/frame and also the feet/slides. (They have you putting those on at the end. It would have been a pain if I tried the directions way.) Put glue on the ends of the dowels, flip the frame upside down and set on to the upside-down top and let sit while putting the drawers together. Rest of the directions as in order.Save the box as you can set the dresser face down on it to assemble the back.BE FOREWARNED! Do NOT lose parts. We didn't, but noticed there are no extras included unlike alot of other RTA furniture.

It was a strange at first to assemble, but that's because it wasn't like our other dressers. Its sturdy and it was a good price. My mother-in-law says it works for her needs.

The instructions were not extremely clear because the drawings have a lower level of detail than most projects of this type. Overall its a decent product for the price. I did not have any assembly problems. I wanted the 6 drawer versus many 5 drawer units in this same price range. It also had quite a bit of a odor. We let it sit outside for two days and that helped some. I hate to think what kind of chemicals are out-gassing in my baby's room. We then covered the drawers in shelf paper. The drawers fit well and it is sturdy enough.Update a year later. Pick up some actual wood glue. The paper glue they include did not hold very well over time. Also there is still an odor. We got rid of it because the chemicals can not be safe.
