However, so many of us are sensitive to bleach. Exposure to bleach fumes can irritate the eyes, nose, lungs, and skin. There might also be negative environmental impacts when we dispose bleach.

Nice inexpensive dresser Frank C. This is a nice wood dresser. We lightly stained it and gave it 2 coats of poly 5
ready to give up Nadlie T. I have put together a lot of furniture in the past. none have been more frustrating than this one. sometimes the instructions need works instead of pictures especially when left vs right and top vs bottom will be crucial for future steps. and to make matters worse, a lot of the holes were drilled too shallow ( which caused me to strip a nail ) or completely missing. which would not be a huge deal by itself if you have a drill handy, but in combination with the other issues, it increased by frustration. I’ve NEVER spent so long trying to put together a piece of furniture. Now I understand why this dresser was on sale for $100 off 3
Just ok Veronica P. While it’s nice to have something not mdf or particleboard, this isn’t a great product. It’s quite difficult to assemble, both because of the sparse instructions and because some of the fastening hardware doesn’t line up quite right. I wouldn’t recommend this product. 3
Decent dresser LINDSAY R. Setup was somewhat confusing, because there’s only pictures. I purchased 3, and only 1 has a drawer that is difficult to close all the way. However I think that’s because I had difficulty screwing the screws all the way in. 4
Just what we needed Marla R. Just what I was looking for for my son’s first apartment at college. Full size but not huge, sturdy but easily movable by 2 people, neutral color and style. 5
Simple but can give troubles. GEORGIOS B. As we were amazed by the quality of the bed in the same series, we purchase 2 of these. The wood quality is good – nice to be able to color it yourself to fit your space (we have not done it yet). Space in the drawers more than enough for a single person. Only drawback, that some of the drawer drivers can be a big of a headache, as the screws holding them in place hit the drawer wheals. Also after a month there is a faint smell of glue. 4
Enough space Reginald M. love it, love it, love it 5
Not impressed Bri C. I was hopeful that this dresser would work last since it is made of solid wood. However, the hardware included for the dresser is so flimsy that the dresser is unusable. The holes that they include for installation are not predictable either, so screws don’t screw all the way in and they get stripped. I’d recommend saving a few extra bucks and get your solid wood dresser elsewhere. 2
Don’t buy!! Madeline K. I absolutely love the look of this dresser, and I was so excited to buy it. Cut to two years later and the wood is so warped that the drawers no longer fit on the tracks and I literally cannot pull out a drawer. The bottom of each drawer also bows out like crazy, even if you don’t overstuff it. Go with one of the other dressers from Ikea! 2
Tarva furniture ANTONELLA Its simple and matches previously furniture bought at the store. Ikea is the store I like to go shopping because you find everything you need. Great place, their managers provide excellent customer service. 5
Wanted extra drawer space in Patti Wanted extra drawer space in our walk in closet without having to redo our current storage system. Was easy to assemble and perf rx cut for our needs. Love that is was made out of real wood. 5
Good value dresser. Logan Good value dresser. 5
Built In in closet remodel Jim Used it as a built in when remodeling master closet, worked out great. 5
More money spent trying to assemble Jeanette The drawers were easy and all parts included but when it came down to putting the dresser together there was a lot of screws and locks that were missing and wooden pegs not included for the amount of holes and what was listed in the instructions . Time, money and gas spent going to the local hardware to get my dresser completed was approx $100 1

Perfect for our sons room CAMILLE Perfect for our sons room and matches his Tarva twin bed as well. We left it natural wood but like having the option to paint or stain it. 5
Better than I expected. Very Sheron Better than I expected. Very sturdy and solid dresser. Was easy to put together. I also used wood glue when installing the pieces. 5
Drawer bottoms are not secure jill t. This dresser surely isn’t worth the price – my child’s shorts are apparently too heavy for the drawer and the bottom will not stay in place! This is because it has a very thin / flimsy piece of particle board as the bottom, which is only held in by the slimmest sliver of the edge. Even when the drawer is perfectly square, there is little room for error – but the wood on our drawers bowed ever so slightly as it aged, and the bottom just keeps popping out. It’s frustrating to have a piece of solid wood furniture that we hoped to keep for years that is rendered nearly useless and completely ruined by a small detail like this! Hoping to keep it going a bit longer by gluing it like crazy – but am not feeling optimistic! Buy something sturdier, friends. And please note this major design flaw, ikea! I am not the only one to report this frustrating circumstance. You can do better than this. 2
How to use whitewash to create bleached look on pine cones.
In simple terms, whitewash is diluted white paint. It creates a soft look while still showing some natural variations and textures of wood, brick, or in this case, pinecones.
Although it is super quick and easy to whitewash pinecones, there are a few tips and tricks to make them look very natural, almost like real bleached pine cones (instead of painted white pine cones). I will share with you all the secrets in this tutorial!
Materials and tools to make faux bleached pinecones
( Some of the helpful resources are affiliate links. Full disclosure here. )
- pinecones: after collecting some pinecones, dry brush them clean using an old tooth brush, or wash them and let dry. Some pine cones will close up after they get wet, and open again once they are dry, so plan ahead if you decide to wash them.
- non-toxic acrylic or craft paint: here’s one of the secrets: DecoArt brand “Buttermilk”paint colormakes the pinecones look like bleached.
- container to mix paint and dip the pinecones in, and (optional) rubber gloves
Step 1: mix paint to whitewash pine cones.
The paint color and consistency are keys to make the pinecones look like they are bleached pinecones instead of just painted white pinecones. This “Buttermilk” paint, as you can see, is not a pure white like white plastic container.
Mix 1 part water with 1 to 2 parts paint depending on how thick the paint is. Experiment with a couple of pine cones first, you can wash them clean if you don’t like the consistency. I used 1 part water to 2 part paint ratio for this “Buttermilk” acylic paint.
