Winsome10519 Halifax 5-Drawer Composite Wood Cabinet, White

This dresser got the job done. Perfect for a desk space or any space really. I received all parts in perfect condition, the box it came in was solid and extra padding. Basically if you live far from an Ikea and they can't ship to you, this is a perfect second option and less cheaper, quality is a bit lacking BUT its not bad.However, the instructions that came with this was a bit questionable, was staring at it for a solid 5 minutes before it clicked but maybe it's because I'm stupid. It did take me 2 hours to build the whole damn thing. When assembling the dresser some parts while assembling were uneven and a bit wobbly but it all came together in the end. I used an electric drill and I don't know if its me or what but when drilling some parts of the screws it ripped part of the wood and paint where that screw was. I didn't care about it but whoever does this might bother you.Pros- Dupe for ALEX dresser- Cheaper- Pretty sturdyCons- Instructions a bit unclear- Assembling some parts weren't perfectly alignedIm not going to add any pictures but trust my words.

Very sturdy, although took a while to put together. They function well; the slide on the drawers is smooth and the wheels roll easily too. The wheels come with locks to keep them stationary once you place them. I purchased 2 and placed them on either side of my desk in my office to extend my working space and give me more storage for my work files. Highly recommend! They are beautiful and functional!

Review with this title included very helpful tips for assembly!Overall, good for price (this review includes written tips for assembly)So, I want to preface my review by saying that (by no fault of the manufacturer,) my storage drawers are damaged. The delivery driver delivered it to the wrong house and it was left outside in the rain, box, shipping label ruined and parts of the product as well. Because I couldn’t return it without the label and what-not, I was issued a refund, but decided to put it together anyway because- well, I didn’t know what else to do with it If I couldn’t return. Anyway, because I basically got a free functioning product and I feel bad about it, I will do you a service by offering some assembly tips for you :)Instructions are pictures only, and that would be okay if they were a little more detailed, maybe closer up and labeled better. I had a bit of trouble figuring out the orientation of some of the smaller bits and pieces on this piece of furniture. Also, for some reason I was given one screw that was not the same length as all the others (pictured)? I used it anyway because it was the same diameter and it wasn’t a structural screw, just one for the drawer hardware, so I figured it’s not a huge deal. It took me (21 y/o female) about 3 hours to put together, and my hands were very sore from all the screwing afterwards (I recommend using an electric screwdriver or a drill on very low speed and torque, as particle board tends to split with too much force). I’m going to go through the steps of the instructions and add some much-needed detail for you now.1) step one was pretty straight-foward; attach all of the m and n pieces to pieces b and c (respectively). One tip here is to make sure you have m and n on the correct sides, as none are labeled. What you want is for the end of the bar with the wheel to be in the front of the side, and with the wheel in the lower position.2) this step is where it got a bit tricky for the pictures. There are about 3-4 things to do in this step and it was a bit unclear what should be done first. I recommend first attaching the V (lg cam lock screws) and Q2 (large dowels) To piece A first, then placing the large cam locks into the sides. Then, slide piece A into the top, lock the cam locks, and slide the back piece in afterwards. The instructions show the back piece sliding from the top, but I found it much easier to slide it in from the bottom after the top was secure.3) the easiest step, first attach the remaining large dowels to piece D, push it into the side pieces and screw the long screws through the bottom.4) very straight-foward, attaching the casters. One thing that was a bit frustrating here was that the holes for the screws weren’t drilled in even a quarter of the length of the screw, so it took a bit of force to get the screw to bite and start to go into the wood. This was the only part of this product where the holes were done like this.5) the most tedious step, and also has many moving parts. The order I recommend doing it in; put together the sides and back of all the drawers with the labeled pieces, then slide in the bottoms of all the drawers. Attach the small dowels and cam screws to the drawer fronts, then add the cam locks, push the drawer fronts on and lock the cams. I tried a few other orders, for other drawers, but this was definitely the most efficient. I found at this step that some of the pre-drilled holes weren’t exactly lining up properly for the bottom of the drawer to go in, so I recommend not screwing the side pieces completely tight until you have the bottom completely pushed in, then tightening it around the bottom piece. I also noticed that there were some discrepancies in the pictures provided for this step, the pieces don’t look exactly like what is given. For this, you want your sides to be oriented where the slot for the bottom is on the bottom, the two holes are in the back and the hole for the cam lock is in the front top.Attaching the drawer wheels was very simple and straight-forward.I hope this was helpful to anyone that was slightly confused by the picture-only instructions :)Verified PurchaseGood for nail polish storage...polish. Fits all brands of gel polish that I own. It took about 2 hours to put together. You only really need a screwdriver but hammer or screw gun may help to make faster. I see what others have said about the gap in back of drawers.Verified PurchaseLots of assemblyThe product looks clean when put together but it took quite a while to assemble. Drawers are a little smaller than I was expecting BFVerified Purchaseneed buyIt is very good for some small storage, easy to put it together, looks very nice. I gave 4 stars only as it is a good drawer for a small thing to store. Otherwise, I like it.Verified PurchaseEasy to assembleI like that it was easy to put together. I don’t like that I can’t open the drawers all the way. I wish the space was a little wider but regardless I really like it for what I needed it.Verified PurchaseGreat quality! Looks niceThis thing takes forever to put together but if you use all the pieces and follow the instructions, you’re going to have a very sturdy and good looking set of drawers.Read other reviews that mentionput together easy to assemble putting it together took me about 2 hours particle board looks great craft room ikea alex easy to put wood glue poor quality highly recommend worth the money cheaply made nothing is labeled parts are labeled piece of furniture instructions are not clear hard to assemble time consumingSee moreVerified PurchaseHard to put toegtherWe put this together it was really hard we think we did something wrong because the drawers on the top stick out but worth the moneyVerified PurchasePretty Good!!!...the item against a stable piece of furniture to have another "set of hands." I put one entire drawer together and tested it before assembling all of the drawers. That was a good idea, because I knew that I had put one together correctly before...Verified PurchaseDONT LISTEN TO BAD REVIEWS...the $70 I paid I love this. It is not at ALL flimsy. I truly think people just don’t know how to screw things together. Secondly ALL of the pieces ARE labeled. They were printed on the raw edges of the wood not stickers like most other furniture.Verified PurchaseGood for money - Great for a dorm. READ TIPS in comments before buying/assembling...as a high-end piece of furniture, you'll be satisfied. I am not handy. I put this together with a screwdriver (no drill) all by myself. Tips below: -Before starting, find way to divide each and every component.Verified PurchaseForget alll the other reviews, read this straight forward one...a 23 year old woman and I've never built anything in my life. I was able to put this thing together in a few hours with little to no help. There is a lot of pieces, so it is sort of timely (hence, it took a few hours).Verified PurchaseLong process to put togetherPaperboard set up, kind of long to put together, I added a person and a drill to make it faster, I wouldn’t hand tighten everything it will take you forever and some things are rigid and hard to fitVerified PurchasePerfect for the job...After reading the reviews I decided to take a chance. It did take a while to put together but it wasn’t that bad. The drawers took the longest to put together. Overall satisfied with purchase.Verified PurchaseGreat for the price. Lots of storage for my craft room....that could use a touch-up pen, but it's very minor. It was fairly easy to put together, although it did take some time. It took me about 45 minutes to put together the case and another hour to put together the drawers. Nothing difficult...Verified PurchaseGreat storage drawer!I purchased this in 2019 and it is still in tact to this day. It was fairly easy to put together and looks very cute in my room! Love it!Verified PurchaseWorks fineWorks just fine for me. Easy to put together if not repetitive when it came to the drawers, but just grateful for no Allen wrenches! lol. Doesn't wobble and love the 2 front wheels lock. Fit perfectly right under my desk!Verified PurchaseTake it slow when assembling...screwdriver. I also use a rubber mallet to get the pieces to really come together before tightening. I had a bit of a hiccup with getting the rails on the drawers on correctly. I couldn't quite comprehend the visual given in the instructions, so... was spot on and super helpful in putting this together. Wish I could thank them!

The media could not be loaded. I have never ever made an Amazon review before but I knew I wanted to after I ordered this and was so scared for it to come because of the horrible reviews I was reading and videos of people saying it’s flimsy etc. first off it isn’t the most amazing quality in the world. You can definitely find better BUT for the $70 I paid I love this. It is not at ALL flimsy. I truly think people just don’t know how to screw things together. Secondly ALL of the pieces ARE labeled. They were printed on the raw edges of the wood not stickers like most other furniture. Third, there are little triangle looking plastic pieces that you screw into the back once you’re done assembling and it really makes the piece sturdy. Use them. I chose not to put the wheels on mine so I can’t say if it changes the way the product sits etc. It took me about 2.5 hours to completely assemble and I took a dinner break in that time. I did everything with a hand held screwdriver and it still didn’t take that long. The instructions are clear so idk what everyone was talking about. This product has far met and gone beyond my expectations as I was truly unsure about what I was getting due to horrible reviews that in my opinion, are just people complaining because they simply can’t follow directions, read, or use a screwdriver. I highly recommend this. The only thing is that SOME of the wood was splitting when I was screwing but nothing that effects the product in any way. For the $70 I paid I like this a lot. Good buy for sure (:

These are an awesome alternative to the Alex drawers. I don't have IKEA where I live and their shipping it insanity. So, I went on a mission to find some drawers to put under my custom built computer desk. I weighed several options and sided with these drawers from Winsome Halifax. Putting them together took some time, but the instructions were clear and I had no issue at all.These drawers look great and are nice and sturdy. The drawer slides function well. They don't pull out super far, but they serve their purpose well for my needs.I built a simple frame and painted it black to replace the caster wheels at the bottom to give them a more substantial presence and so that they were the perfect height to tuck under the lip of my desk. They look and function great. 10/10 would recommend!
