This dresser holds so much more than I thought it would. The drawers are really deep and roomy, and it holds about twice as much as a similarly sized dresser I replaced. The finish is really nice and makes it look very expensive. The design is simple and sleek without being boring. It definitely looks better in real life than in the photo on here. (I thought it looked a bit like a filing cabinet at first glance on the website, but I don't feel that way now that I have it in my house.)
I did think that it was a bit pricy once you paid for the shipping, since that added quite a bit to the price and there was no option to pick it up in store, but I am still very happy with my purchase.

We ordered two of these chests for our walk-in closet. They are stunning! Drawers are roomy, design and quality equal to that of more expensive options. One drawer slide arrived mangled but customer service was responsive and we are awaiting delivery of the necessary piece. Would definitely recommend these units.
Bought this along with peg leg bed, and bed side tables. Easy to assemble, product is attractive, modern and very well built. High chest is perfect for small spaces. You won't be disappointed.
I purchased this dresser to compliment a CB2 matching bed and desk that is no longer offered. Fortunately, the finishes of the 4 year old desk and 1 year old bed match perfectly. CB2 revises their products often to keep things interesting, but considers backwards compatibility. For people that purchase pieces over time, this is a very important detail.
The quality of the chest is very high. The drawers open and close with a touch. If you are accustomed to muscling the drawers of traditional heavy wood furniture open and closed, this feature will be very impressive. The drawers are also very deep and contain a high volume. My blue jeans drawer holds over 10 pairs with some extra room!
The white lacquer finish is a bit delicate, but as long as you lift instead of slide items over it, you can avoid scratching. Also, foreign substances other than typical dust in the air can mar the surface. I learned this the hard way with a bit of ashes from a candle wick. Cleaning with a soft cloth and water is your best bet. Fingerprints are only visible at certain angles and can be buffed out with a soft cloth easily. The chrome conceals are my least favorite feature as they get the most fingerprinted and it is much more noticeable on this surface. Since they are recessed, they are tougher to clean.
Overall, this is a great product that I highly recommend.

I purchased this dresser to store our kids' clothes. We had only a narrow spot between two windows to put a dresser and I chose this one after a long deliberation. Though a little expensive, it is of good value considering how much it stores, and the fact that it is well built and comes with hardware to secure it safely to the wall. It is clean and modern and hopefully will serve my kids from toddlerhood through their teen years. My only complaints are that it does have a chemical smell, which I hope will dissipate soon, and the drawers sometimes take an extra push to close, but I blame that mostly on our very uneven floors.
I live in a small studio apartment and really love this dresser's simple, clean design. The lacquer is very fresh looking and the chest's generously sized drawers provide some serious (and much needed!) storage space. I found assembly easy--everything fit together perfectly with clear instructions--and it took about an hour (including unpacking the boxes). I honestly can't think of a single thing I'd change about this piece. The item seems very solid, looks great, and packs as much storage as possible into a compact piece of furniture. I say buy it!
Great for a small space area that requires extra storage. Sleek, modern, and simple, it could be in a home office or a bedroom without being ostentatious nor boring. It's dimensions perfectly fit our bedroom, which is not so spacious.
Problem: my apartment has limited wall space, but I need ample storage for clothing. Solution: I purchased two gloss tall chests. The dimensions of these pieces work well for me because they are taller than they are wide, and the drawers are deep and roomy, so they hold a lot. Bonus: they were easy to assemble (I did this by myself using a phillips screwdriver) and they are sleek and handsome additions to my studio apartment. I am extremely pleased with my purchase and highly recommend the gloss tall chest.

I purchased this chest for my bedroom along with two Gloss nightstands, the Plush bed, the Tourino desk and the Cloud 16 lounge chair. I have to say, it all looks great together in the space, which is the master bedroom of a second home. The best part about this chest is the the high quality and ease of assembly. It is very solidly built. Every part is labeled, so there is no confusion. Directions are very clear. My husband and I assembled it in a little more than 30 minutes. It helps to have two people, and you should each have a Phillips screwdriver (not part of the package) to be efficient!
I bought this for my preschool aged daughter. I wanted something for a kids room that she could grow into. I really like this dresser. The drawers are super deep and hold all her clothes. The finish hasnt scratched so far. Its a little on the expensive side, other than that i would give it 5 stars

These look great and provide a ton of storage space. The dresser has four very deep drawers.. The dressers are also just beautiful. In fact, I bought two. I highly recommend these to anyone who wants a very sleek looking dresser that provides ton of space for storing clothes, linens, etc.
I love my new dresser! The white lacquer is HOT, and the drawers are really nice and deep. The only issue I had is that it is not clear until you purchase the item that assembly is required. Thinking that it came assembled or that the delivery team would assemble it, I decided to purchase this CB2 item, rather than at another store. Fully assembled is worth the extra $100!, I thought to myself. And then, I had to have my boyfriend and his electric screwdriver go to work.... Oh well. I do love the chest, but just know that you have to put it together yourself.
