Is this dresser solid wood?

No. It is engineered wood with a veneer finish, and the drawer boxes are lighter than solid-wood construction. That is normal at this tier and keeps the weight down.

How much assembly does it need?

It ships flat-packed and needs full assembly: frame, drawer runners and levelers. Plan on an evening and a second person for the frame.

Will it fit in a small bedroom?

At about 39 inches wide it is a compact five-drawer chest, so it fits where a wide double dresser will not. Measure your wall and door swing first.

Does it tip over easily?

A light chest like this should be anchored to the wall, especially in homes with kids or pets. The levelers help with wobble but are not a substitute for a wall strap.

How does it compare with a solid-wood dresser?

It costs far less and is easier to move, but it will not last as long or feel as solid. Choose it for a rental or guest room, not a forever bedroom.

Our take on the 17 Stories 39.1'' W 5-Drawer Dresser

This is a five-drawer chest in a beige and white finish from 17 Stories, a Wayfair house brand. It is a flat-packed, budget-tier piece: the frame is engineered wood with a fabric-lined drawer box on many builds, so it is lighter and less rigid than a solid-wood dresser. Buyers rate it 4.3 out of 5 across 107 ratings, which is solid for the category, and the levelers help it sit flat on uneven floors. It suits renters, guest rooms and first apartments where a full-size wood dresser is overkill.
