After weeks of shopping around, I decided on the Catalina Series for my bedroom. Great look! Great price! Very Satisfied!
So here's the scenario....I purchased two night stands, 5 drawer chest & 6 drawer dresser all at once. Seven boxes came to the house (UPS guy....NOT HAPPY!), a couple looked like they were in a UFC title match...and LOST. Nothing really damaged, minor chips, luckily all were located on the back of the pieces.
If you are planning to purchase the entire set, get ready for these two things: Styrofoam & cardboard UP THE WAZOO!! Madness! Good luck!
Started @ 5 am and was set to knock out this assembly in a few hours. WRONG! And I'm no stranger to building and construction. Lets just say...finished @ 5pm with the four pieces.
There are a million pieces! Directions pretty straight forward. Use wood glue for dowels (trust me!) and when it's all said and done....this collection is solid and looks great! Very satisfied!
A few notes:
1. The drawers are NOT SOFT CLOSING!
2. The top, sides and drawer front are real wood. The shell of the drawers are MDF
3. Parts are numbered. Pay attention to the directions.
With some time and a little labor, you will have a great piece of furniture.
