Delta Children Essex 6-Drawer Dresser, White with Natural Wood

This is a six-drawer dresser for a nursery or a child's bedroom, finished in white with natural wood round knobs and tapered natural wood legs. It measures 47.5 inches wide by 19.75 inches deep by 33.75 inches high, with drawers arranged three rows by two columns and each drawer interior measuring 20.75 by 13.5 by 4.75 inches. The top has raised edges and is wide enough to take a changing pad.

The drawers run on metal ball-bearing slides and are governed by an interlocking system that allows only one to be open at a time. That is a deliberate anti-tip measure rather than a fault, and it is the thing reviewers most often remark on, so it is worth knowing before you buy: you cannot pull two drawers at once while packing. The dresser is tested to ASTM F2057, the mandatory CPSC stability standard for clothing storage units.

Two-tone white and natural is doing the work of keeping this from looking like nursery furniture that has to be replaced. Strip away the changing pad and the raised edges read as a plain modern chest, so it moves into a school-age bedroom without looking out of place. Construction is New Zealand pine, poplar, rubberwood and TSCA-compliant engineered wood, with lead- and phthalate-free paint. It weighs 140 pounds assembled. Wipe clean.
