I’m a 68 year old woman and even though it took 2 1/2 hours to assemble, (my fault) I put one drawer together backwards. It was pretty easy.I put a clear coat of sealing wax to protect it and hand painted the design I saw on a blog I’ve always admired. And resealed the drawers and top a second coat.As someone suggested I also used wood glue on all the nails and dowels.Very sturdy and pleased with the results and product.

This is my second purchase of an International Concept piece of furniture. While they do not offer a line of upscale hardwood products also, this line is beautiful and solid wood to work with. The directions do not say to do this, but I recommend using wood glue before joining with the screws provided. Do not over use glue. A little goes a long way, but it's use will ensure your product is durable and sturdy for many years. I upgraded my knobs for a custom look and will white wash the wood before adding a satin finish. Normally I do not write reviews, but the company deserves kudos.

My husband and I are reviewing two pieces of International Concepts furniture. Models BD-8003 (Brooklyn 3 drawer chest) and BD-8013 (Brooklyn 3 drawer nightstand), both unfinished. They arrived with no damage and all pieces accounted for. We were very impressed with the quality and look of the wood. Everything is real Parawood (look it up) except for the back panels, drawer frames and bottoms which are laminated plywood. Assembly went very well and amazingly square (I used a framing square to check everything). All holes are pre-drilled except for the chest where the drawer bottom brace gets screwed into the front and back pieces and where the back brace piece screws into the sides. I pre-drilled them myself to keep from splitting the plywood and we would advise anyone else to do the same. We would also suggest that you check square on everything before completely tightening the bolts and screws. The ONLY problem we ran into is the brace in the back center of the chest (see the picture). The dowel pin holes were drilled with the wrong spacing on both sides, or the holes were wrong on both ends of the brace piece. This piece also gets a screw in each end so I merely removed the dowel pins and proceeded with the assembly. I called the phone number listed in the instructions to ask about this problem and found out that they will only send missing hardware and that a wood problem would require returning the cabinet for exchange or refund. That was very disappointing. All-in-all, we would strongly recommend these furniture pieces to anyone interested.Read more

Cons First:-All of the draw slides are already preinstalled on the inside walls of the dresser prior to packaging. Some of the drawer slides were set unevenly to their partner on the other side. This made certain drawers protrude and not close evenly after everything was assembled. I had to remove them with a screw driver and reinstall them in the correct position. Not a huge deal if you’re handy, only took a few extra minutes with a tape measure to line it all up and reinstall slides.-Box arrived dinged up but it was packaged very well and protected inside.-The two thin pieces of backing that slide into the rear of the dresser were warped but straightened out once slid into their final positions and everything was tightened.-You don’t get any extra hardware. They provide exactly as many screws as you need. Don’t drop or lose them while unpacking.Pros:- Arrived 1 week prior to the expected delivery date. This was a pleasant surprise.-It is packaged and protected well inside the bix. A ton of styrofoam, cardboard protectors, and plastic wrap.-Assembly was simple and straight forward. I put it together by myself in about an hour. Assemble it on a soft surface to avoid scratching any of the pieces.-Ready for finish right out of the box as advertised. Took stain extremely well and required zero prep other than a quick wet wipe. It was glass smooth upon arrival. Used 1 coat of Minwax Waterbased Semi Transparent Dark Walnut and finished with 2 coats of Polycrylic. The wood drank up the stain beautifully. I think it turned out great.Conclusion:I think the dresser turned out great and all the issues presented during assembly were easily resolved. I believe it’s overpriced a bit especially since it arrives unfinished. We needed a dresser we could stain for a bedroom and didn’t want to settle for lookalike mdf or partical board materials. I recommend staining/painting the pieces all individually prior to assembly. Will check back in after some use if I remember to and update on how it has held up. Definitely recommend purchasing new draw pulls. Really helps give it a fancier look than the stock ones.Read more

40 yo female and it took me 45 mins to assemble by myself. Only tool needed is a screwdriver. Excellent quality and will look great in my teenagers room. Also bought the matching dresser but I’ll work on that another day. Considering staining and waiting for the drawer pulls I ordered to get delivered. Don’t hesitate, it was packaged great, zero damage.

I personally like the natural wood look but you can do anything with it. Stain or paint, or simply swap out the knobs, which I plan to do in the future.

Some trouble assembling- some drawers barely fit but we worked it out by trying each drawer into the tight space. Very cute dresser.

The side panels, drawers fronts, and top are all solid wood. The drawer bottoms and back panels are cheap plywood. Overall I like it and look forward to finishing it off in my desired scheme but if you have kids beware that this needs to be anchored. That’s my biggest annoyance with the dresser is that it wobbles from side to side (see video) and I have double and triple checked all of the supports and bolts to ensure everything is tight.

I really do love this dresser. Really solid wood and finishes beautifully.That said, there are some consistency issues. One drawer didn’t have pre drilled holes to guide the screws. The plywood splits easily when screwing the drawers together, i wood glued several boards back together. The drawers don’t line up perfectly, but honestly I’m not going to complain.

I ordered 2 of these. One came damaged, but Amazon sent another one as a replacement. Unfortunately, I have to send the damaged one back, instead of just receiving a replacement part. (I know the logistics would be too complicated for a custom replacement part). The box is really heavy and packed tightly and carefully by the manufacturer, so it will be nontrivial to repack it and drop it off at a UPS.Fortunately, I did not send the damaged item back yet, because I notice that the drawer slides were also damaged, I was able to cannibalize additional spare parts. I also noticed that some parts (the back of the drawers) were not the right size (too wide), which is very strange since the other parts were identical. I also notice that across the 3 packages, 2 of them had a long strips of wood as the chest top, but 1 of them had a butch block pattern, so again I was kept the 2 that matched.I was able to successfully polyurethane the parawood very nicely. It was important to sand between applications because the parawood became uneven as some pieces absorbed the polyurethane and left the surface gritty as the wood expanded. It looks really beautiful now though. Better (more beautiful and sturdy) than pine by a mile and a great value compared to oak.Finally, I found the drawers did not assemble evenly, although I followed the pilot holes carefully, when attaching the screws. I had to move drawers around at different positions, or else the gap between drawers looked uneven. Ultimately, I ended up having to shim the sliders for one drawer (to raise it about .75mm or 1/32in), and also shim a slider that was attached to the inside of the cabinet to get it to close evenly. (it tended to veer to one side so it would close flush)So given all this work and also replacing the wooden knobs with chrome knobs, the results were very nice. It just takes a little bit more work to get professional looking results.I would 100% recommend for International Concepts chairs and benches, since those do not have moveable parts. Those are absolutely solid. I also bought 2 night stands, they look great, but again, the drawer sliders needed shimming to look perfectly even, so I would not recommend IC furniture with drawers unless you are a experienced drawer tweaker.Read more

Questions & Answers

What type of wood is this?
It is made of Parawood which is also known as Rubberwood. Rubberwood is a tropical hardwood. From Wikipedia; "rubber plantation trees are generally harvested for wood after they complete the latex producing cycle, when they are 25 to 30 years old. When the latex yields become extremely low, the trees are then felled, a… see more

Unfinished

The unfinished finish on a dresser with a chest will portray a boho electric style. Users who prefer to leave their furniture unfinished; that is if you aren't concerned with the effects of light exposure, potential water damage, or prefer the natural look of the wood you are using. This finish is not only natural but also makes users feel a sense of confidence. If you love your furniture to look original just like they were designed, then the unfinished finish is for you. In the case of dents, your dresser will absorb them as part of the dresser. This finish is also calm and unique. However unfinished wood will stain easily, absorb moisture, and possibly crack or warp and quickly get ruined. Unfinished dressers also can get attacked by wood bores that tend to attack wooden furniture. You can however dress this type of dresser with items or decor that blend well to bring out its look in a modern way.

Wood

Wood is classified into two major categories, that's is softwood and hardwood. Softwood is easier to work with hence making elegant dressers and chests in your room. On the other hand, hardwood is the most durable material when it comes to furniture making. Wood is well treated to the longevity of dressers & chests. Users can pick either softwood or hardwood for their preference. Both kinds of wood need care and maintenance and from time to time wipe your wood perfectly. If you love personalized touch in your dressers and chest, you can always go for these materials because it's easier to work with compared to metals. Wood does not rust but if not well treated it can get attacked by wold borers or termites. A wooden dresser can be enhanced by applying a finish to give your dresser an attractive final look. Wood is sturdy and durable hence making your dresser & chest give you service for decades.

Dresser

Dressers are one of the few categories of furniture that are commonly made of one material, wood. They usually are wide and short, making them ideal for small and large spaces rooms. Beyond mere tradition, wood construction in dressers is simply the most versatile and reliable building material. While the majority of dressers will be wood, there are notable exceptions and eye-catching in a room, making them a focal point of admiration. They are also meant to provide a space you can dress in front of the top serves as a table to place clothes and space for a mirror. The overall design of a dresser is its most defining feature, giving way to the considerations of build, style, and any other features. Dressers function perfectly in a bedroom, where you or your guest can have easier access to clothes or mirrors if installed.
