This is a great as it looks! I love the size of it and drawers slide nicely. It came carefully wrapped in a furniture blanket and was in perfect condition. I have no complaints.

The drawers are too small
April 7, 2012
I thought because of the depth of 18 inches I was getting a deeper drawer space. The drawer depth is only 13 inches inside so it's deceivingly small once your start putting in clothes. I put my daughter's clothes in and I still needed more space. She is 7 years old. It would be good for a smaller child who has smaller clothes.

Nice Dresser
January 25, 2012
Bought this to go with the Catalina bed I purchased for my 5yr old son. Only problem is when I pulled the drawer the knobs flew off, apparently their stripped, I was unable to tighten back on. Pretty much all the knobs flew off. I haven't contacted customer service yet but will do. The other thing is that you have to be really careful that when your child puts their clothes away they don't slip into the back, because there is no way to get it out. I couldn't slip my hand back there just to try and see if I would be able to pull something out. Other than that my son loves it and it looks good.

Catalina Chest in Espresso
November 7, 2011
I bought this piece to match my son's catalina bed. I wanted a chest style dresser and I am so glad they came out with this one. It is well built, I love the height and it is a piece of furniture he can grow with! My son is 5 years old and it really was the perfect piece! After shopping for bedroom sets at my local furniture stores, I was really nervous about buying online but I am glad we did! Most pieces at the furniture store felt cheap, this one did not for the same price! The only thing that will take some getting used to is the inside of the drawer, it doesnt pull out the whole way and stops short half way, which is an important safety feature! The drawers are not that deep but this is the perfect size to fit in his room, since he has a huge trainset and other furniture! I was not dissapointed in this piece!

Knob keeps coming off
October 1, 2011
Love the drawer chest, but the bottom right knob keeps coming off when you pull to open drawer. Pottery barn is sending me a new knob and hopefully this will correct the problem!

Very Nice Chest
May 29, 2011
It is quite tall and looks great in the sun valley expresso finish. The knobs are a bit large but it makes it easier to open, especially for children (they can always be replaced later). The drawers are dovetailed.

I ordered this drawer chest and the matching bookcase and could not be happier. They are both well-crafted. The dresser looks impressive in our nursery and will be a piece of furniture our son can grow up with.

great size, little pricey
May 20, 2011
We purchased this chest to go with our boy's PBK Catalina twin beds. It's such a nice, classic piece and the size is perfect for them to share. I like the sturdy build especially after looking at furniture store quality. This is so much better. The drawers slide easily. It is a little pricey in my opinion but we hope that it will last a very long time. And, the delivery guys were so nice and helpful.

Would have expected nicer finishes
May 11, 2011
I'm mostly happy with the way this dresser looks. What I was disappointed in was the quality of the drawer runners. They are wood on wood. For the price of this piece of furniture, I expected that the drawers would open and close on metal guide rails with wheels.

Sturdy, good quality
May 6, 2011
Other reviewers have commented on it not being white, and that's true, but the cream color is lovely and suits my daughter's room perfectly. White would have been too stark. The quality is quite good. It's furniture that'll last for years. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Great Furniture
March 24, 2011
I bought this along with the Catalina Nightstand for my 2 year old son and I love them both. This chest is very sturdy and I believe it will last for many years. I got it in espresso and the color is great, nice and dark. My only concern is that the drawers do not come all the way out. There is plenty of space for all of his clothes with room left over.

Solid, sturdy and stylish!
March 22, 2011
We bought the Catalina dresser set for my 2-year-old son's new "big boy" room. It is the perfect piece of furniture for his room, and we'll be able to keep it for many years. It's a very sturdy piece of furniture and very rich in color (we got the espresso). I would definitely recommend to a friend.

Beautiful Solid Wood Dresser
January 5, 2011
We bought this dresser to go along with the Catalina bed and nightstand and we couldn't be happier. It is such a beautiful, well built dresser, I know this is going to be a long time piece of furniture. It looks great with the other pieces and the Madison bookcase we also purchased. Thanks PBK!

Beautiful!

We chose this bed because the extra-wide dresser was so low to the ground- it truly was a child's dresser. We wanted something that could grow with our child and this dresser lived up to our expectations. It is well represented in the photo's online.

Just as expected
October 2, 2010
This arrived promptly, and the delivery guys unpacked and placed it exactly where we wanted it (which was helpful when I was 9 months pregnant). It fits plenty of clothes for an infant/toddler, and we expect to get good use out of it until our daughter is in high school. It is well represented in the photos online. It seems the drawers do not come out, which might be helpful with young children at home, but I just hope we don't lose small clothes out the back of the drawers if they get overstuffed.
