I see a lot of complaints on the reviews about paint chipping off easily. How does the dresser hold up so far? I'm not sure if I should get it.

We have had this dresser for 3 months and haven't had any paint chip off. However, I have noticed that it scratches somewhat easily. Despite this, I am very happy with the dresser and do not regret getting it. We also have the Hudson crib and they pair really nicely together. The dresser is easy to use (no fussy knobs to yank - important when you are diving for a change of clothes!) and the changing table top is very convenient. The whole layout is very user friendly, plus it looks good!

Our paint hasn't chipped at all! I love it and it holds a lot! Bigger then I thought.

Haven't had any issues with it. Been great so far. Good storage space. Lots of screws when your putting it together.

It does chip easily, but we were able to match the paint at Home Depot for touchups! Other than that, we love the dresser.

I've only had the paint in place for a couple of months, but it has two top coats of clear finish over the paint, so I would expect it to be fairly durable to the friction of wear along the edge, but I can't really give you any long term experience. So far, it seems pretty durable, but we don't use our kitchen hard, being semi-retired and not having a lot of cooking to do like when the kids were growing up.

I agree with the other answers. The dresser isn't made of solid wood so it seems it would not hold anything very heavy. Mine just has clothing in it and it works great for that and looks nice, as well!

Although mine is not heavily used (there are 2 adults, 2 dogs-I keep a throw over it), I have no complaints with the cushions or the material. It has held up just fine. For the price, this sofa has held up much better than the last one I purchased for $900 at a big box store. Although the microfiber material was nice, the cushions lost their shape and sunk in in months...the cushions on the Alexis Sofa are much heavier and stronger. I am happy with my sofa!

We ended up drilling new holes. Lame. But I think after doing it we found that if we'd arranged the pieces differently we wouldn't have had to. The pieces aren't labeled well, but if you play around with it a bit you can find how it fits! On the plus side, we've had this dresser for three years now and it's still standing tall. Good luck!

We got the black dresser and I still cant believe how nice this dresser is.......sturdy, drawers roll flawlessly, definitely not flimsy particle board. We also have the crib that matches.

I read the same reviews and was concerned as well. Mine was delivered on time and in perfect condition. I received it around 6 months ago. The distressed look matches our cherry wood laminate floor and mushroom colored walls. 100% satisfied. HerbW. Goodluck

I purchase the set of knives by Hampton forge and I have not had any problems with the paint chipping. I use them regularly because I cater...I plan on ordering two more packs within a few months...very good product...

everything is just open and painted pictures as you see them...I loved this for the price...sturdy for an upright dollhouse and portable to put away or take somewhere if needed. I liked the modern over the traditional..pretty much the same thing except the traditional looked to be mostly pink in color and clawfoor tub, bicycle..different furniturefrom the modern. The modern had a computer, moped scooter, updated furniture etc. and more color variety..You definitely can't go wrong for the price of $30-35 dollars. I'm 5'6" and it is about waist high..and not $100.00...Hope this helps...I was very happy with this purchase for my 5yr old granddaughter. everything is just open and painted pictures as you see them...I loved this for the price...sturdy for an upright dollhouse and portable to put away or take somewhere if needed.

I haven't used mine for heavy duty purposes, but the paint has not chipped off. Maybe if you constantly slide heavy metallic objects on the top, the coloring may scrape off. I use it for boxes and other things and yet to see any wear on the one I put up in my closet in April of 2014

We have had ours for a month now, and it seems to be very durable. We love this piece -- even my picky husband (former homebuilder) said "that's a really nice cabinet; I'm glad we got it."

I've had mine for a little less than a year. The paint is not easily scratched. Still looks new.

It has held up well! Its used in a guest room but my kids like to sit on the bed all the time, so I've even had to spot clean it. It's very pretty and is a great quality. I get compliments on it all the time. I hope this helps!

Ours hasn't scratched or chipped, but we did have to get replacement parts for a leg and stool that came chipped. Very easy to do. Other than that, we have been very happy with it!

My husband battled with it. 1 of the dressers is great, we are still have problems with 2 drawers on one of the dressers. I think there is something wrong with the tracks.

The finished product is beautiful, so I think its worth it. Mine didn't have damage, it was just a lot of work putting it together!

It seems to be holding up well. I have not used it in a hard use type situation. I've opened boxes, cut up a steak and apples. Still looks new. I think it's a painted on finish, very flat. I love it and will be getting some for my brothers & step-dad for Christmas.
