Great Chest (that's what she said)!
Nice high gloss chest with good clean lines. The depth is slightly narrower than the average, which worked out perfectly for me. I got two and used them as end tables. Very sturdy.

Very solid and well-designed piece...I got two!
I bought this for my NY apartment and loved it so much I bought another to go side-by-side for my bedroom when I moved into my boyfriend's house in Portland. Although most of my furniture sustained major damage when the truck carrying my stuff had an accident, this piece only got knicked a bit. It is solid and substantial as well as well-designed. The drawers glide in and out and it is easy to keep clean (the high gloss is nice for that).

Beautiful Functional Dresser
We purchased this dresser for our new daughters nursery, and its such a beautiful bright red color, it helps bring a nice punch of color to her white walled room. We've had it for about a year and a half now, and it's still brand new. Very durable and sturdy. Easy to assemble too, it was easier than the crib.
My only concern with this dresser was the gunmetal legs on my hardwood floors, they were pretty sharp on the bottom, and I could see myself sliding the dresser across the floor and leaving a nice gash. I went to the hardware store and purchased some sticky rubber floor protector sheets and put them under each leg, and that did away with my worries.
Other than that , it is a beautiful piece to her room.

A bright addition to a bedroom!
This dresser is gorgeous in our daughter's bedroom! The color is AMAZING but the finish on this dresser is very delicate & therefore, requires being careful to avoid scratches. A great purchase!

Great Color, Big Assembly
The shop chest is a perfect color and size for our guest room, however, "some assembly required" is an understatement - the dresser comes in tons of pieces, multiple boxes, and is quite heavy. The directions are easy to follow but it took a while to do and I'm pretty crafty. Also, to other reviewers' point, the surface is extremely scratch prone, the screwdriver I was using at one point slid out of the groove and damaged a whole piece of the chest - thank goodness it's on the inside. Overall it's a great, happy piece for your home but you have to want to put in some elbow grease to get it done. Also, drawer sliders take a few days to work smoothly.

Love this!
I recently purchased two of these chests to place side by side for clothing storage for 2 of my children. They were easy to assemble, it took us about 30 min per piece... do place something under the pieces so you don't scratch them. They are a great splash of color and I'm glad they aren't a true red. Versatile since I can use them in a bedroom, playroom, media room, etc. Was worried that the low cost would reflect in their construction, but this is the best purchase I've made in a while at this price point!

Fun and robust
This is a striking piece of furniture that brings together eye catching color and ample storage space. It looks really good in my mostly grey and white room. I will say though, my experience with the Shop Chest was quite the saga. I had just moved to my new apartment, a fourth floor walk up and had to have this piece delivered and exchanged three times. This was a very frustrating affair due mostly to faulty construction and poor manufacturing logistics. As a compromise, the CB2 customer service team ensured to deliver the piece to my apartment on the UWS from their SoHo showroom, assembled.

FUN chest of drawers
I bought two of these chests for my boys. I love the way they look side by side. So far they haven't scratched, but I've told the boys they can't leave stuff on top of them.

Nice color
This chest of drawers looks very stylish in my son's room. Assembly was a little tricky, but I was able to do it by myself.
My only complaint is that the legs of this chest really scratch a wood floor

Looks Good; Smell - Not So Much
This is a really good-looking dresser that we purchased to brighten up our white-ish bedroom. Unfortunately, a couple of months after my husband put it together, the chemically smell lingers on. I've tried several things - leaving the drawers open to air it; adding lavendar sachets - no luck. It's not a good smell, either, sort of a toxic odor that's in the paint or something. It's not SO bad that it affects the air in the whole room, but when I'm near it, I smell it. And the clothes smell like it. So buyer, beware!

Best Nursery Addition
I spent a lot of time looking for a baby dresser for our nursery and kept coming up short. Either they were too babyish, cheap, or not the right size. I didn't want the typical nursery dresser, but still wanted it to be fun and appropriate for a baby/child's room...and of course, to fit in with the style of our modern rustic home. This dresser completely fit the bill! The bright orangey red color with high gloss shine and drawers that slide effortlessly, but are hard to open by kids because there are no handles, was perfect for our son's room. We have a rug from CB2 that matches perfectly and they both match the modern crib and other decor going on in the room. The shop chest dresser created the exact right look and storage solution for the room, is extremely well made (heavy, which is a good thing), and will last to work in our son's nursery and his room as he gets older. It really was a perfect purchase!

Sharp Look, Lots of Space
Assembly was easy and quick. And to my surprise, I was able to fit WAY more clothes in to it then I originally thought. Plus this color looks Great in my white and grey bedroom. One of the best pieces of furniture I have bought in awhile.

Compact Yet Spacious
What I love about this item is the measurements. It somehow fit like a glove into my space. It's vibrant and super modern looking. Great piece!

Very Solid Chest
The chest is incredibly sturdy and solid feeling. Following the instructions was easy–it takes about an hour to assemble. The chest is large and heavy, but the drawers slide gracefully and snap into place when closed with ease.

Looks great but has a few down sides
color is fabulous and looks great in our room but a few bewares that I need to put out there. NOT so easy to put together if not all is not 100% correct. The track on one of the drawers was put on backwards so needed to get a replacement. The replacement still didn't work and are waiting for the other one. Red lacquer paint chips very easily and we put a few good nicks in while putting together. Also the legs are murder on hardwood floors and we did some nice damage. If I didn't love the color so much I would have sent the whole thing back, and we ordered two! However Customer Support was great about helping with drawer issue and sending more pieces.

Very strange metal legs ...
Relatively easy to put together but quality is just 'so so'. Love the bright red color but not the smell of paint. Definitely think the metal legs are a very poor choice for placement on ANY floor. The legs are better described a slim recessed "7" not "L" because the legs are 4 very narrow metal strips that dig into the floor. The design of the legs is so poor (and destructive to our hardwood floors!!!) that we're going to replace them.

Love this 'Shop Chest'
This is a very nice chest of drawers. I love the orangey red lacquer color. Although this is knock down furniture, the quality looks and functions more like highend. The drawer hardware works well when opening and closing, it has a smooth cushiony feel, it does not have that thin tinny sound or rattle around. The directions are easy to follow. I highly recommend. The Shop Chest adds a pop of color and chic tone to a room.

2nd time is a charm
For being made of MDF, this dresser is quite solid and heavy. Unfortunately the first one arrived with a faulty hinge, but CB2 sent a replacement quickly and that one is perfect. As others have said, it really amps up the energy of a room. The fact that even the back is finished makes it really versatile.

NOt the same color in person
When we received this it was more orange than red and it looks terrible. It does not match the presentation on the web. What do I do with this thing?

double love
we purchased a second one of these after i fell in love with the first that we had purchased for my art studio. they are excellent for storing my supplies, and provide the room with a vibrant splash of color. the assembly is simple, and the end result is quite sturdy. just mind your floors as the legs are a bit sharp.
