Tvilum Aurora 5 Drawer Narrow Chest, Coffee

This is definitely a cheap dresser, both in price and in quality. The material is all plywood with a white covering over it. Some of the pieces of the furniture were already slightly damaged at the corners/edges when I received it, which is disappointing because it arrived in a big package with tons of foam and packaging materials. But the damages were slight and didn't interfere with the functionality of the pieces, so I didn't consider an attempt at returning/replacing worthwhile.As many other reviews mention, the instructions are pretty horrible - only pictures, no words or clarifications for the instructions. My boyfriend helped me get started on putting this together, which I'm thankful for -- without his prior experience in assembling furniture, I would have been completely clueless at the beginning. Thankfully I was able to finish putting it together myself (something that I, as a 21-year-old woman who never really even played with Legos, am VERY proud of) but it definitely felt like it took longer and more effort/energy than it should have, if the instructions had been clearer.I chose this dresser because I moved into a new apartment and have a very narrow space to put a dresser, and this one matches the dimensions I needed (and it wasn't too expensive). It fits in the space perfectly, which is a plus, but since the materials are cheap, I feel nervous to put too much stuff in each drawer, for fear of too much weight breaking the thin drawer bottom. I'm being very gentle with this dresser, and hoping that it lasts for 2 years (boyfriend's guess is only 1).Overall, I'm just barely satisfied - I have a place to keep my clothes, and it fits in the space that I have, but it's not great quality at all. I'll be looking for a different, better-quality dresser when this one inevitably bites the dust (or when I move to a bigger living space, whichever comes first).

I was looking for a narrow dresser that would fit in my (small) closet without having to resort to plastic drawers and this fit the bill. Thankfully everything arrived packaged well and in one piece and after a time puzzling over the diagram-only instructions and some unexpected tool requirements (who has an awl? do you have an awl? I sure don’t, but I do have a barbecue skewer and a hammer that pokes holes for screws just as well) it was fairly straight forward, though it certainly helps if you’re more of a visual person and can decipher what in the picture is what, as the pieces themselves aren’t labeled. For me it was easy enough to figure out and piece together, though admittedly time consuming— expect to spend at least a few hours putting this together (and in my case swearing). In the end I’m pleased with it and it looks like I wanted and serves the purpose I wanted it for and seems sturdy for what it is, so I’m happy.

4 stars purely only for the quality of the finished product. Assembly is a literal living hell. I'm in 1 hour into this and have only gotten maybe 3/4 of the way there.If it weren't for my intelligent partner who is really good with this type of stuff I would be still stuck on the frustration of how horrible the build design is.The sliders definitely should be on the two long sides because having to put on these takes too much time and effort.I feel like someone should pay us just for doing the labor, the item itself should be free for someone that likes inconvenience.Anyways, decent quality, I can tell it'll be solid once built, but to which ever guy who designed the build, there is a special place in hell with you're name on it.

I have single-handedly assembled many pieces of furniture, but this chest was a challenge that was not even worth the effort. The included instructions are all diagrams. The diagrams are labeled with alphas and numbers, but the actual pieces (about 40+ furniture pieces) had no markings on them. Also included are about 120+ screws and other pieces of hardware. So, you had to figure out to what the number or alpha was referring and that was not at all easy. It would have gone a lot better had the manufacturer taken the time and made an effort to inconspicuously mark the furniture pieces in order to match them to the diagrams. This is pretty standard for ready to assemble furniture. Once I finally figured out the pieces and had nearly completed the assembly, I noticed a bubble near the bottom of one of the sides, obviously from a screw. The entire piece was a little shaky even after I'd put on the top and bottom. As it is said, you get what you pay for! I was attracted to this chest because of its narrow size, which would have worked fine for my closet. I intended to return it. But, of course, once the piece is modified in any way, Cymax will no longer take it back. So, out with the trash it goes. I'll consider this financial loss a lesson learned and I'll avoid this brand at all cost in the future. I would not recommend this piece to a friend or to my worse enemy.

Built my first one today. It's nice but most of the stuff didn't align well. Mainly the drawers. Measurements were all out of whack. At the end of the drawers anyway. The instructions are terrible as well, not that I had much trouble. But it would have been nice if the materials were labeled. All in all I'm happy with the frame. I'd use some wood glue with the wooden inserts though. To make it more stable. The frame is solid. So my only complains are the drawers and instructions.UpdateI did the second one perfectly. I would recommend this for make up as I did, I also put my ps4 controller and games in it

My package arrived a day early and was packaged with a lot of support. I had read the reviews and they were mixed on the actual assembly. It took about a hour and I had to get my husband to help with it. MOST pieces do not have any type of "markings/numbers/letters" to identify them. I feel like if they had them labeled and the directions actually had words it would not of been near as time consuming. I did separate the boards, pieces, and all the screws, bolts, etc.

It is perfect for what I required. Sturdy and worth the money.
