After desperately searching for an affordable armoire for our daughter’s nursery, I came across this piece from South Shore. When it arrived I was so happy to see that all the pieces were there and not damaged. My husband and I put it together in less than two hours with no problems at all. It looked absolutely beautiful when we finished and it was perfect for her room.

I loved all the shelves available for storing clothes and displaying items. It’s the perfect size (not too tall or wide) so I have things displayed on top as well. Everything seems extremely sturdy and the drawers are much stronger than I thought they would be. I know the color is ‘pure white’ and I wasn’t sure exactly what that meant when we purchased it, but it matches my daughter’s white crib perfectly. I have her nursery decorated in a shabby chic theme and this was a wonderful addition—I would totally recommend this product. I am extremely satisfied!

The only thing I did not realize when we bought this was that there is no latch or magnet for the door. There are small clear rubber blocks inside the frame so when the door closes it doesn’t bang but it might get interesting when she starts moving around and discovers she can open it herself!

You may think that this is an affordable item to buy, but before you do, ask yourself what your time is worth. I say that because putting this piece of furniture together took me about 5 hours. Once it was together, it was unstable and the drawers are very sticky. I dont know if I even want to put it in my daughters room, due to the balance issues. There is not enough support at the top of the piece. The door on the front is junk, with about a 1/2 inch gap all the way around it. It is lined with basically cardboard that rattles when you open the door. Like I said, DONT BUY THIS. I would return it, but honestly I dont have the energy to take it apart and box it up.

LOve this once put together. One warning, make sure you read the dimensions before buying, its shorter than you would think looking at the pictures-about 5 ft tall. Many parts and pieces, takes a few hours to get together, instructions are easy though. The drawer knobs dont twist on all the way but I bought cuter pick crystal ones from target that i like way better anyway. Overall I recommend for a low cost piece of baby furniture, sturdy once together.

I got this on sale for $139 so I can’t complain too much. The door is cheaply made and the instructions are not great. I had to increase the size of the holes in the knobs for the drawers, but other then that assembly was fairly easy. Note: Be careful when hammering nails into the cardboard on the back of the item. I hit a nail slightly crooked and it broke through the side panel. Overall, It looks cute and my 3-year-old daughter seems to like it. It has a decient amount of storage space as well. I’m guessing it will last about 2 1/2 to 3 years, so for $139 that is not bad.

This item arrived yesterday, and after having read other reviews, I was ready for it to be damaged/missing pieces and a pain to put together. Well, apparently something hit it during shipping and a few of the pieces were dented but I forged ahead. Then, I started the assembly. The person who wrote the review stating, It took 4 hours to assemble” deserves my apologies. I laughed at this person and thought, how is that possible? Well, it didn’t take me 4 hours but it did take about 2.5 (Day 2 and I still have that .5 to go). You must assemble every single little piece but the instructions are pretty descriptive and if you get something wrong, it becomes apparent as assembly progresses. On thing to note, you will need a LARGE, Phillips screwdriver. I only own small ones and had to borrow one to progress with the assembly.

So far, the piece looks nice and seems very sturdy. I also like that it is only 53″ tall so it does not over power the other items in the babies room and I can put things on top. I would recommend this product but be prepared for a longer processing/shipping time and be prepared to spend a good portion of an afternoon putting it together.
