"This dresser is sturdy, the drawers open and shut smoothly, and the finish is nice (very consistent with the photos), as you would expect since it is so expensive. The style seems to work well in a lot of rooms, and we hope this will grow with our new son until he is much older (how we justified the price). The dresser is bigger than it seems in the picture - make sure you get your measuring tape out and see how the dimensions will translate into your child's room. It holds a pretty good amount of stuff. We bought the matching changing table, and it would be a little easier to use if the dresser were a little lower (it is fine for me (5'11"), but a little high for my wife (5'2")). Also, we put a shelf above the changing table, which is correspondingly high due to the height of the dresser. Still usable, but maybe not optimal. The only other complaint I have is the locking mechanism that prevents you from opening the two lower drawers at the same time. Not a big deal, but when you are rifling through them to find something it can be annoying to have to shut one first."
