Is the Hemnes dresser worth it over cheaper IKEA models?

Yes if you want solid pine and soft-close drawers. Particleboard lines like Malm cost less but feel lighter and use different hardware.

How long does assembly take?

Plan on one to two hours for two people. It comes in three packages and needs the anti-tip kit attached to the wall.

Does it come with knobs?

Yes, basic knobs are included. The handles are standard-fit, so you can swap in custom knobs without drilling.

What are the drawer dimensions?

Each drawer is about 28 3/8 inches wide and 15 3/4 inches deep inside, with 11 1/8 inches of pull-out.

The lowest recent price was $300 on October 30, versus $400 on November 2. Watch for IKEA family and seasonal sales.
