Storkcraft Brookside 4 Drawer Dresser (White) – GREENGUARD Gold Certified, Nursery Dresser for Kids Bedroom, Chest of Drawers

I am writing this to warn other parents of a major safety defect with the Storkcraft Brookside 4-Drawer Dresser. I purchased two of these units—one for each of my daughters. While one has been functional, the second unit suffered a catastrophic failure of the drawer stops. My preschool-aged daughter was opening a drawer to put away clothes when the safety stops failed completely. The drawer came entirely out of the frame with clothes in it and fell on her. I was lucky to be right there to catch the edge of the drawer, so her foot was only bruised rather than smashed. The drawer broke during the fall, and I chose not to put it back in. I ended up ditching the entire unit because I could no longer trust the hardware. I was shocked to see that Amazon’s AI (Rufus) was still recommending this unit for children’s bedrooms in 2026 despite these safety concerns. Critical points for buyers: Inconsistent Quality: Since I own two, I can confirm the hardware is hit-or-miss. One unit’s stops hold, while the other's failed without warning. Nursery Marketing: This is marketed for kids' rooms, but the "Euro-glide" tracks and plastic safety stops are not durable enough to prevent a heavy drawer from falling out if a child pulls it. AI Recommendation Issues: Even after reporting this incident, the automated recommendations still label this as a "durable" option. Do not trust the AI for safety-critical furniture. If you have this dresser, please test your drawer stops immediately by firmly pulling them to the limit. If there is any "give," the unit is unsafe. I strongly recommend choosing a dresser with metal-to-metal safety catches or a different brand entirely.

My wife bought this dresser for our kids room. She really likes the style of the dresser. There was a lot of pieces so it took some time putting it together but it wasn’t hard.

The backing is not at all sturdy enough for anti tipping hardware. The back is tacked on and very easily will come off with a simple climb from a toddler. To add, the anti tipping hardware is a simple zip tie??? How does that meet the regulatory requirement for anti-tipping?! Overall, it’s a dresser. But I am not happy that it is marketed as a kids’ or nursery dresser.

Loved the outcome of the dresser! It's sooooo many pieces! It took several hours to put this together but it was worth it

I’m not able to attach pictures but as my husband was putting it together some parts just broke. I don’t think it’s a good idea for a kid as kids tend to open and close drawers more than an adult would. The only peace of mind I have is that there is a piece of this Plywood like material reinforcing each of the drawers in the middle. Other than that it doesn’t come with any child proof reinforcement. Seems extremely cheap for the price, if you ask me I would’ve Pay no more than $75. Whatever works!
