Oh nooo! Why would the dowel be too long! Watch out when building the wood splits easily This dresser takes a long time to put together I wouldn’t buy again

First of all, I can’t believe this dresser at full price is $440 because I bought it at $240 and it’s a piece of crap. I’ve bought IKEA furniture for years and Ikea is way better quality than this! I wasted my entire Saturday putting this thing together (which I’ve put many pieces together in my lifetime). The screws that went in to the little legs did not screw all the way in, in fact they were huge and the legs were so wobbly. The drawers wouldn’t even open. I was furious because I put it together as instructed. I called Wayfair to be told that they can give me $50 off to keep it or return it for a full refund. Seriously, it’s not like I was taking apart a night stand. I had to take apart the entire dresser and fit it back into the little box it came in. There were probably 100 screws, one part was even glued and screwed. As far as I’m concerned, they should have just given me a refund and I could have dumped the crap. I sent pictures, it’s not like I was lying. All of the trouble to send it back when they are going to dispose of it anyway. I’m hoping they won’t mess with my refund after I mail it back. Please don’t make crap furniture!! By the way if you dare buy it, look at the dimensions. It’s small. That was my own fault. However, my son is 12 and the top of dresser hit about his stomach/bottom of rib area. Don’t waste your money.

Terrible. Do not buy. This is a terrible dresser. All of the screws keep getting stripped, and some of the wood is bent and can’t be attached properly. It’s such a waste of money. I was excited because it is actual would but it’s not worth it. There are also so many pieces.

Several composite pieces arrived split or broken, and customer service has not been responsive to my requests for amelioration. Reprehensible and unfortuante.

I painted the base of the dresser and looks so much better. I like that it's solid wood.
