Delta Children Ava 3 Drawer Dresser with Changing Top, Greenguard Gold Certified, White

Ok, I have done a few different dressers for my kids. This one is by far the heaviest. This thing arrives in its box, and it is going to pose a challenge for most people to get upstairs. Instructions were clear, all tools but a Philips head screw driver, are inside. It took me about an hour to setup. I am happy with It. Feels sturdy and worth the money. Only “issue” I had was a few of the pre-drilled holes did not line up as cleanly as I would have liked. Use a little muscle and it works.

Easy to assembly, perfect for small spaces, beautiful styles. I change the handles for boho look.

After comparing this to other dressers currently available, this one was the clear winner!! It went together in a few hours with one person, sometimes two for stability but basically one person could do it. The only issue we ran into was one tiny hairline crack from overtightening a screw. The crack can't be seen when the drawers are closed though and we learned how tight was too tight. I swapped out the knobs for something that fit the style of the room a bit better (but still won't get caught on your pockets!). The counter height of this dresser is perfect and much more comfortable for changing baby. The topper (changing page frame holder) will easily come off in the future without damaging the dresser top. And the drawers open all the way so there's no awkward blind grabbing for stuff shoved to the back of the drawer. It's also REALLY heavy for assembled furniture and even with all the drawers open, it does not want to tip over (though it does include safety hardware for anchoring to the wall). There was a slight paint/lacquer smell to it for about a week so we just left the drawers open til that disappeared.

Pros:After putting it together, we like the overall look of the dresser. The price was great compared to a Babyletto dresser we saw in a similar style that did not have great reviews. We did replace the dresser knobs to match our neutral theme with a $7 natural wood option we found on Amazon - which we are happy with. We also like the size of each drawer - the IKEA Skubb organizers fit almost perfectly in the drawers for organizing little clothes - and the changing table frame fits our Keekaroo Peanut Changer.Cons:The assembly, however, was a pain and took approximately 3 hours from unboxing to putting the drawers in place. There are A LOT of parts. Also, for us, on step 15 (attached picture) - there were holes that should have been pre-drilled to screw in "HH" screws - that were not - so we will need to carefully pre-drill those holes to not drill all the way through to the front of the dresser. It seems to be a fairly important miss since it helps to secure the bottoms of each drawer.If this would bother anyone, another issue we had is that the drawers are not exactly aligned. We tried re-arranging all the drawers to see what would be the best fit, but the spacing is off on the top drawer alignment, and the top drawer catches on the top right portion of the dresser. You'll see in my photos the spacing is off, but something we can overlook and get used to.

We loved this ! Went together well, looks amazing, works as a dresser should. Arrived quickly for us and in tact. We did change the nobs to match the room but the original nobs were just fine.

The media could not be loaded.  Had to be built from scratch so it took awhile but that was expected. Drawer is sturdy and looks nice built BUT I have a couple major issues with it. 1) the smell! I’ve had this for 2 months now and it has not gone away. The odor hits you once the drawer is open and it stays on my daughters clothing. I hold her and I can smell it. I reached out to the company and they suggested I return it and or send them proof of purchase and they’ll send me charcoal to help with the smell. Not sure how I can return a fully assembled dresser and it has been mounted to the wall and can’t reach or see the proof that is needed to send so I’m stuck with this smell. But they did say it was non toxic…2) the drawers are hard to open, they get stuck on one side and or you have to really really struggle to open them. For safety you can not open all three at the same time so you have to make sure ALL are closed before trying to open one. The small knobs do not help either! Can’t open with one hand so quickly trying to grab something while making sure the baby doesn’t fall off isn’t possible. And do not try to open them after putting on lotion because that just won’t work lol I seem to always want to open them after putting on lotion lol again I reached out to the company and they said it was designed that you have to use some sort of force to open the drawers…I’m not entirely convinced that all furniture of this kind is made this way.So I am stuck with this item…

Great value for money and how pretty it looks. My husband is super handy but still it took him more than 3 hours to put it together. The paint smells a bit, and it took about two to three weeks for the smell to go away. Love the changing top and the round knobs. Again the only down side is that it came in many pieces gotta have the patience to put it together.

I really liked it. I liked the finished product for my baby’s nursery room. The assembly wasn’t as fast & easy but just follow the instructions on the book & you’ll get it. A lot of parts, tools so it’s very time consuming. Took my husband about an hour or so. He did use a drill at the end. It doesn’t recommend for us to use one but he did and it turned out just fine. Just do it slow, it helped a lot if not the process would’ve been longer. No damaged parts or anything i was kind of scared bc of some of the reviews but nothing came damaged. Worth the money. It’s pretty sturdy too!
