The Prepac Sonoma Superior 5‑Drawer Chest earns consistent praise for delivering great value, stylish appeal, and practical storage—but assembly is where some buyers hit speed bumps. Here’s a balanced overview based on user feedback:⸻👍 What People Love1. Stylish & Spacious Design• The Sonoma design — featuring a clean laminated finish, curved top edges, pewter-style knobs — blends easily into many room styles .• Drawer dimensions (~24.75″ W × 5″ H × 12.5″ D) offer ample space for clothes and linens .2. Solid Build Quality• Engineered wood with solid pine drawer sides and metal glides make it sturdier than typical ready-to-assemble (RTA) furniture .• Drawers slide smoothly and include safety stops to prevent them from falling completely out .3. Excellent Value• Many reviewers highlight the great balance of quality and affordability for the price .⸻⚠️ The Assembly Woes1. Time‑Consuming & Sometimes Frustrating• Users often report it taking 2–4 hours, with assistance recommended .• One Redditor summed it up well:“this thing took me and another person **TWO AND A HALF HOURS to put together… I have never been so aggravated in my LIFE.” 2. Parts & Labeling Issues• Many say pieces aren’t labeled; some dowel holes need adjustment or reinforcement .• One buyer noted missing screws—though replacements were available:“…missing a screw for the knob… You could probably get a replacement from your local Lowe’s.”3. Vulnerable Finish• Minor scratches and dings are common out of the box; a felt-tip marker for touch-ups often ships with it .4. Material Concerns Over Time• Drawer bottoms are thinner and may degrade with heavy use .• Some mention light odours or smell from new particleboard — airing out pieces before final assembly may help .⸻🔍 Final Verdict• Great for: Buyers wanting a stylish, spacious chest with solid value and don’t mind the DIY effort.• Plan accordingly: Set aside a chunk of time (2–4 hours), have at least two people, and prep tools like a drill, hammer, and possibly glue.• Tip: Inspect everything on delivery, label parts as you go, keep hardware organized, and touch up scratches promptly.⸻✅ Bottom LineIf you’re okay with a bit of assembly hustle, the Sonoma Superior 5‑Drawer Chest delivers above-average sturdiness, smooth drawer action, a clean look, and excellent price-to-quality ratio. Just bring patience (and maybe a friend) to the setup—and it’ll serve well for years to come.

Looked forever for a dresser, decent price and standard 5/6 drawers. Saw this and purchased. Did not realize it was just pegboard and not a sleek finish on inside of drawers (my fault). However, that does not make this ‘rustic’ it feels so cheap! One cam lock broke through the back of the dresser, so that was a thing. It’s all around cheap, very easily breakable, and the instructions were GARBAGE. I did this with my sister, we have both put together multiple pieces of furniture and this company made it SO MUCH HARDER than any other one I’ve dealt with. The parts were separated by maybe 3 bags? So many screws/bolts/etc were thrown together. Back pieces, side pieces, bottom front piece, and middle shelving were NOT labeled so you have to just look at pictures and orientations to put it together correctly. The edges of the dresser are DANGEROUS!!!!! We moved the finished body from hard floor to carpet in the bedroom and ended up with a cut arm from moving it and the slightest friction caused a razor like cut across my sisters arm! I would have returned this garbage but I was just past the return window by the time I was ready to put it together. It will do its job, but this has been the worst furniture experience I have ever had. This is NOT for beginners, or assemble on your own friendly. I do NOT RECOMMEND. I have assembled my own dresser prior and had NONE of these issues!

The package was quite heavy to bring inside and to the desired room, but I was able to do it myself by picking up one end (short side), standing it up vertically, then standing behind the package and gently letting it back down to the floor, haha. Then I had to turn a narrow corner and decided to just push it on the hardwood floor, which also worked. Heavy, but not impossible. If you have to carry this up stairs, please get help.I emptied the box and placed all the similar parts together and made sure I got all the screws/hardware out. Make sure you are thorough when checking! There was a bag of screws nudged in a crevice of a piece of foam that I almost threw to the side, but I triple checked and found it.This dresser was very easy to put together. The photos and instructions in the manual were clear and easy to read. I took my time and totaled about 4 hours. You could probably do it faster. But I was sitting on the floor and my back started hurting and I took some short breaks to stretch and play with my cute puppy.My only complaint is the drawer stabilizers, which are optional. They are very difficult to secure onto the drawer. I did one and gave up on the rest. Honestly, when I compared pulling out and pushing the drawer that had a stabilizer with the ones that didn't, they seemed to function the same. I know the reviews are mixed, which is what took me so long to decide. But I went for it because this dresser was for my grandmother and she needed one right away. We got lucky!
