Winsome Halifax 5-Drawer Storage Cabinet, Black (20519)

This dresser got the job done. Perfect for a desk space or any space really. I received all parts in perfect condition, the box it came in was solid and extra padding. Basically if you live far from an Ikea and they can't ship to you, this is a perfect second option and less cheaper, quality is a bit lacking BUT its not bad.However, the instructions that came with this was a bit questionable, was staring at it for a solid 5 minutes before it clicked but maybe it's because I'm stupid. It did take me 2 hours to build the whole damn thing. When assembling the dresser some parts while assembling were uneven and a bit wobbly but it all came together in the end. I used an electric drill and I don't know if its me or what but when drilling some parts of the screws it ripped part of the wood and paint where that screw was. I didn't care about it but whoever does this might bother you.Pros- Dupe for ALEX dresser- Cheaper- Pretty sturdyCons- Instructions a bit unclear- Assembling some parts weren't perfectly alignedIm not going to add any pictures but trust my words.

These are an awesome alternative to the Alex drawers. I don't have IKEA where I live and their shipping it insanity. So, I went on a mission to find some drawers to put under my custom built computer desk. I weighed several options and sided with these drawers from Winsome Halifax. Putting them together took some time, but the instructions were clear and I had no issue at all.These drawers look great and are nice and sturdy. The drawer slides function well. They don't pull out super far, but they serve their purpose well for my needs.I built a simple frame and painted it black to replace the caster wheels at the bottom to give them a more substantial presence and so that they were the perfect height to tuck under the lip of my desk. They look and function great. 10/10 would recommend!

I bought the same type of drawers set from SweetCrispy a week before I purchased this. I’m a weird person who likes assembly projects like this, but I have to say assembling the SweetCrispy drawers was much simpler from the very first step. Firstly the instruction manual is just much more thought out. This one is very “messy” is the term I would use. The images aren’t always clear as to what they are saying to do, and some of the labeling is a bit off. And since it has 3 languages on one page it’s just really cluttered. Overall product I like (it is smaller and more expensive that the SweetCrispy with the same number of drawer). But I planned to purchase one more set of drawers, I will go with SweetCrispy.

I have a little PC set up and wanted something small and cute to store some random tech things and bits and bobs. Purchased this and was not disappointed! Has held up over two moves, drawers slide seamlessly along tracks, sturdy enough to hold my PC. I will say that when I had my printer on it, it did shake a bit when my printer would print, though im not sure if thats too wild of a printer or not sturdy enough of the drawers. Either way, not really a drawback for me because it does what I got it to do.

Very sturdy, although took a while to put together. They function well; the slide on the drawers is smooth and the wheels roll easily too. The wheels come with locks to keep them stationary once you place them. I purchased 2 and placed them on either side of my desk in my office to extend my working space and give me more storage for my work files. Highly recommend! They are beautiful and functional!

I bought this because I am desperate for storage space for cables, various pieces and parts and other "project" type stuff. I got this specific unit because it fits under my existing desk, and it was 37% off (paid $78) the $125 list priceAs an experienced DIY person, this took me two hours to build because the instructions SUCK! They're the typical "no words, only pictures" type of instructions. Plus, nothing was labeled. In the the pictures, they show part "A" or "B" or whatever, but the pieces themselves are not labeled. You have to keep referring back to the parts list and figure out which part is which. Even pre-sorting the stuff doesn't help much.The biggest issue was that in the very first step, the picture shows one thing, but then they show a measurement to go by. What are you supposed to do? Here's a hint. Ignore the whole "16mm" thing entirely. Just do what the PICTURE shows, which is using the SECOND HOLE on the metal part (2nd from the end on each side). It won't come out to 16mm from the front of the cabinet, but that's OK. They should just delete the "16 mm" part because all it does is add confusion.For the reason above - I ended up skipping this part of the instructions and went to building the drawers first. I built all five of them, then put the rails on them, and then tried to determine how the rails go on the cabinet - but still gave up from that. I just went with the picture and used the SECOND HOLE, and hoped for the best. I thought for sure I would end up having to take the whole thing back apart again when I tried to put the drawer in, but, miraculously, it worked.Anyway - aside from that...quality is OK. Tolerances are a little loose - so things are not lined up perfectly. There's a bit too much spacing/slop in the drawers for my taste - but it's OK. It's OK at the $78 I paid. It's pretty bad for the $125 list price.This unit is a rolling unit. The wheels are cheap plastic, but it rolls OK on my hardwood floor. Would probably suck on carpet. To my surprise and delight, I discovered that the wheels do have "locks" on them, so you can lock it into position to keep it from moving. Handy if you wanted to use the surface for a work table or something.The drawers slide OK for what they are. They don't really "lock in" so they will want to slide out if you roll the unit around much. This unit could be greatly improved if the drawers had better retention, so you had to more actively slide them out, with a little effort.You could probably paint this unit if you wanted to. Would be kind of a PITA. I'd recommend scuffing the entire surface to be painted, for better adhesion. I would also recommend doing it before assembly, and using a sprayer or roller, rather than a paint brush.Unit could use a handle on the front, so give you something to grab on to when rolling it. Side would work, but for my use case, front would be better since it is under my desk facing forward. I will probably acquire a handle and install it when I get some time.Overall, not a bad unit for the price I paid. If I had room for another unit under my desk, I would get one.I ordered unit yesterday and it came today - so very fast. I also ordered two of the 7 drawer versions (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006WYUQ8Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) due to arrive tomorrow and the 5 drawer with big door version (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K9F7XYC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1) due to arrive Thursday.Look for my reviews on these units later this week.
