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

I bought one of these in September 2024 and a second April 2025. I’m disappointed to find that the design has been changed. The taller one on the right is the older model and I wanted an identical second. I’m not a big fan of the little skinny drawer at the top that seems to have replaced the full size drawer from my older model.Otherwise this is a great unit for the price. It’s sturdy and easy to put together. It’s helpful to have a drill or electric screwdriver to put it together but not a requirement. I built it by myself in about 2 hours. I think it’s even mostly real wood!

the wood used for this dresser is nice, everything is smooth and glossyits a bit heavy while in the box, but once it’s built it’s easy to manage/maneuver.the size is ideal if you’re in a small room and don’t want to take up a lot of room.it feels very durable and secure.the drawers are pretty spacious and the pull out function is extremely smooththe instructions were clear making it easier to build all by myself (i’m 4’11 at about 130lbs, i’m not athletic whatsoever and can barley carry a 5 gallon jug of water) so if i can do it, you can do it with no problem!

Pros:Strength- I can't really imagine this thing caving in to casual use. As long as you aren't overfilling it with very heavy items it should be able to hold your clothes perfectly fine. No this is not meant for an extra storage unit for your power tools, your survival kit, or even your extra household items UNLESS you plan on switching out the cardboard bottoms for much sturdier ones. The reason I say that is because of the key word I mentioned before...cardboard. The bottoms are made of 'cardboard' and so they WILL NOT hold TOO much weight, but for everyday intended use it's perfectly fine. In fact I found that it's a much thicker and sturdier cardboard than those of my old drawers that were cheap Walmart units.Looks- It's a VERY beautiful dresser and I'm very happy with the purchase when it comes to looks.Build- It wasn't too hard to build.Height- Absolutely not meant for children or people under 5' 5" inches as you will probably suffer from not being able to reach the top drawer or even the items on the top of the dresser. But it is perfect for anyone above that height. So could be technically/partially child proof.Cons:Build- It took at least 3 hours, 1 callus, a bandaid, some music, and a lot of pain to build this. I would highly suggest that you give up all of your inner pride of "I'm a strong person! I can do this with a hand screwdriver!" because you will simply hurt yourself. After 3 straight hours of constant screwing I got a callus, which was expected, but I wasn't expecting to get so pissed off that I then hurt myself. The details that I will spare you of.Tools- Do listen to the manual and get an electric screwdriver to remove most of your pain and even reduce build time. A second person to help mass build the dresser units is quite helpful.Shipping- The top of the dresser, and a dresser itself got damaged while in shipping. Which is very disappointing because the little marker to "deluxe" the dresser wasn't helpful at all so I now have a very ugly mark on the top. So do beware of who is handling your package.Weight- This one is very important because if you live alone and expect to lift this into your house....well then you better hope you catch the UPS driver on time and have them help you because that is NOT happening. This thing weighs about 70 lbs....and no I'm not joking. You WILL NOT lift this by yourself unless you are some type of body builder and even then I will be impressed. I had to shimmy this through my door and then open the package there and slowly bring up each item to my room.Overall: I'm happy with the purchase besides the damage done to my dresser, and it has done it's job well enough. I was able to fit almost 2 entire drawers worth of clothes into this one unit and that is exactly what I wanted. I don't think I will ever waste my time buying another one of these because of the weight and the time it would take to reconstruct the second one but it was a fun "first time for everything" experience.

actually pretty easy to set up, only thing was the gliders were very confusing, so we put the drawers together first then put the gliders on and it made it way more easy, yes some parts are uneven but oh well. it’s sturdy, works well. it was only a bit over 100 which is great. i would recommend this.

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.

Fantastic piece of furniture.After assembling this piece made in America, I won't buy Chinese junk anymore.This was perfectly cut, with no missing components, easy to assemble (2 hours), and looks great.
