Customer Reviews for Welwick Designs 1-Drawer Classic Solid Wood Nightstand - Black

I spent months looking for the perfect dresser for our baby boys nursery and finally found this! I love that it’s solid wood with recessed brass handles and the price couldn’t be beat. It came quickly and was easy to assemble!

I put two nightstands together in about 2.5-3 hours! The directions were clear and easy to understand (I’m not the most savvy with these things so if I can do it anyone can!). My only complaint was the drawer is a bit tough to open and close properly, but it’s not the biggest deal to me or my boyfriend. Overall, they look beautiful and I’m so happy with the quality and ease of assembly!

I was hesitant to purchase due to some other reviews mentioning poor quality, pieces arriving damaged, and difficult assembly. I am so glad that I still chose to give this item a chance. The pieces all arrived intact and free from blemishes/marks. The assembly instructions were simple, though a bit time consuming (roughly 3.5 hours for 2 nightstands). This item turned out better than expected, and the price can’t be beat!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This six drawer dresser is nice. It took me about 2.5 hours to put together myself. You need a Phillips head screwdriver and a hammer/mallet. The instructions were clear and detailed with pictures. The pieces of the dresser were labeled with numbers to ensure you knew which piece were what. I did find issues with the dresser drawers sliding in as the cut outs for the dresser were not cut out large enough. Two of the drawers are very hard to pull out and push in. I do have some wood working tools and was able to router out the cutouts to make them easier to slide in and out. The pull handles are cool and useful. The dresser paint is easy to knick up. Overall, I feel this dresser is overpriced, but it is sturdy and does the job.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dresser was just the look I was going for in my master bedroom. It looks great with the rest of my furniture and has so much storage space, way more than my old dresser. My husband and I assembled the dresser in a couple of hours. All the hardware was labeled and the directions have detailed photos so it was easy to follow. There is a lot of screws to tighten so I recommend having a partner to help out with it. Also we took our time and didn't over tighten anything so the dresser turned out flawless. I love the handles for the drawers they are a sturdy metal and are very nostalgic looking. They remind me of the handles on my grandparents filing cabinet in my Grandpa's office. The dresser itself isn't real heavy so it was pretty easy for me and my husband to carry it into the master bedroom and place where I wanted it. The drawers do slide on wooden tracks so to make them slide easier my husband applied a little paraffin wax to all the drawer tracks and now the drawers open and close nice and smooth. The drawers are nice and deep so you can fit a lot in each drawer. I use the dresser to store socks, and undergarments in and I have plenty of room with leftover room to spare. My old dresser was smaller so all my stuff was really jammed in it and now I just love how I can really organize my stuff and find it easily with room to spare. I've been looking for a new dresser for awhile now and since the pandemic and supply shortages it was almost impossible to find something I liked that went well with my decor. This dresser was exactly what I had envisioned for my space.

It seems to being working out, really nice!

See the pics. that's right out of the box! This is barely tolerable quality. Use only if you don't really can't afford anything better. Assemble on spotless surface. It scratches extremely quickly. You see this quality and you think of end of civilization. There's about $10 worth of particle board and other crap in there.

Nightstands look nice but are not functional. Some pieces came without the necessary holes, which caused a drawer to be extremely hard to open and close. Overall, rather disappointing.

Item arrived with some scratches that didn't seem to be noticable but were upon assembly. Was offered to have them replaced but during assembly it was obvious if the poor construction. Pilot holes weren't well drilled or didn't exist, locking cams were poorly designed that led to stripping, and the shelves have no safety design to prevent from being pulled out on a small child. And pay attention to the drawer dimensions - they are but very deep. I was refunded as promised but the item itself is poorly constructed. Better off to go to you know where.

Love the Lydia collection in black. Our bedroom is now complete. Easy to assemble also.

Took 6 weeks to arrive. When it did the assembly process was poorly designed and furniture is not held together well.

The general appearance is good, but the overall quality is very poor. Very easy to damage and chips easily. Would not recommend

Arrived broken. Drawers also very cheap, sliding isn’t easy. Just buy something with better quality

It is made from quality material, my only complaints are the drawers and construction time. This dresser took me around 5 hours to put together which is more than any other piece of furniture i’ve constructed. Additionally, the drawers are not as smooth as you would expect with furniture this price. They are consistently getting stuck /jammed when i try to pull out a drawer. There are only two drawers that are smooth and you don’t have to mess around with. With that being said, I still like this piece of furniture and am content with my purchase.

Poor quality. It looks fine at the end, but the quality and directions are about on par with an Ikea knockoff. As noted in other reviews, the lack of predrill holes for the screws means you have to predrill them and hope you don't split the particle board.

Tried to put 1 together - WAY too many parts and nothing lined up. Very much a pain in the butt to put together ....Glad we didn't open #2!

No pre-drilled holes and some of the pieces were uneven because of poor quality control, so assembly took longer than expected. Even with pre-drilling the holes myself and using some clamps, I still noticed the wood slightly splitting in places (as other reviewers have mentioned) but nothing too major. Don't trust the diagrams in the instruction booklet because some are a little off in terms of things like where to put the cam bolts. In the end, the piece does look nice, though.

beatutiful material, easy to put together. Love it.

Directions suck and some of the wood parts are cheap enough I had some splitting even after I pre-drilled certain very small holes to make sure hanging in several nails and screws wouldn't shoot the wood but it happened in a few places anyway

Easy to build. One was packaged in the original box and was fine but the one that was packaged clearly NOT in the original box was beat up. Customer service was quick to offer a refund/replacement/discount. I had already put it together so I chose the discount.

I think it’s a very nice looking piece but the quality of it sucks over all. You can’t get it wet or put really anything on it without it messing up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was able to put it together but needs two people to assemble. The instructions are helpful . It looks very elegant in the bedroom

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dresser is so nice! The modern look of it is great! I love this particular color as well because it is easier to match with.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dresser is just what we needed to complete our bedroom. The drawers are a perfect depth and with the overall sleek design it went well with the furniture we already had. Definitely recommend having an extra person around to help with assemble

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the dresser looks great! the assembly was generally pretty easy, however the drawers did not want to slide in properly. I think the wood on wood sliding is not the best compered to rollers on track, but also the part the was attached to the dresser did not appear to be the right size as i had to sand it down for the drawers to git in properly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical about this dresser after reading some of the other reviews. After seeing for myself, I am pretty satisfied. It is made of real wood so it is a bit heavy. The drawers can be a bit tough to open. But, I expected that with it being real wood. My only issue was there was a huge scratch in the wood when I opened it. However, it was on the back side. So, I just let it go. Assembly was not too bad. There are a lot of screws which took the longest amount of time in my opinion.
