It closes on its own softly with a light touch. TIP: When putting the dresser together, make sure everything’s flush and there are no gaps. If you do that the dresser will turn out solid with no wobbles.”
– Scott ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Did you know IKEA will buy back your furniture and issue you a store credit?
My favorite is the Hemnes. It’s actually real wood, big roomy drawers and a nice, traditional appearance. I’ve been very happy with the 2 I have – the 3 drawer which I also use for a changing table in my baby’s room and the 6 drawer in my teen daughter’s room.
I love our Hemnes dressers too! We have 3 and one of them we’ve had for 15 yrs and it’s held up perfectly!
So glad to hear you love it! I just added it at the top of this post! 🙂
Thanks for sharing your favorite with us, Jen D! I used a dresser for our changing table too!
We love the Hemnes also!
So glad to hear that Miranda! This definitely seems to be the most popular, so I went ahead and added your suggestion. Have a great day 🙂
I also have that dresser in both my son’s rooms and love them, I can’t believe I left it off this list! Thanks for the reminder of how wonderful the HEMNES is Jen! Have a great day. 🙂
I no this Is off Topic but would anybody have a toy organizer they would recommend though IKEA?
The Trofast system is my go to!
Thanks for asking, Jer! We’ll have to work on a list of those too!
We have 2 Trofast systems for toys. I laminated labels for each bin and attached using Command Velcro strips. Little bins for legos and all of my son’s “collections” and bigger bins for playmobil sets and building blocks, etc. We love them!
We have three of the Malm series and have been very happy with this. Totally would recommend.
Thanks so much for the recommendation, Asya! Were sure appreciate it!
We have Malm as well. very nice!
That’s awesome! So glad you love if Erin!
I got 3 hemnes drawers…all bought from craigslist few years ago…. $75 each.. all like new…ill never buy brand new furnitures
Love this!!! Redoing my son’s closet and need a dresser to put in it. Perfect timing.
I love all of these dressers. I have a 12 x 12 room. It’s kind of small. It fits a queen size bed and a long IKEA bench at the end of the bed. We have an IKEA leather sofa that’s on the small side. There’s no room left for the dresser. So in our standard average closet (kind which has two large sliding mirrored doors) we have a bookshelf with baskets that hold our socks and underpants bras etc. so three baskets on my side of the shelf and three baskets on my husband side of the shelf. This works OK if you pair down with any of the shelf above for the folded items for shoes. Living in a unit. So it is small.
I use a bookshelf and bins in my closet too! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment!
I have a Hemnes and a Malm I bought on craigslist for $60 total! They were in excellent condition. The lady I bought them off of was moving and purchased all new furniture for her new place…must be nice! lol I scored! I love them, they’re so roomy and well built.
I’m at Hemnes fan also. Huge drawers, can fit a ton..and easy glide drawers. Like this new format btw..although prefer the original comments section, where the side kicks replies show up automatically high lighted 👍
I would not recommend Hemnes at all. I am surprised by all the people that love it. We had the whole set of it including the drawers shown above. While they look great, the build on them is so flimsy. The drawers themselves are made up with a thin board at the bottom – which warps. You also can’t put heavy sweaters in, so there is a weight limit on the drawers. If you do it will come out of the edgings – because they are not strong at all. Just wedged in a groove and that’s it. Once it comes out you can’t get that back in again as it will always come out – so that drawer becomes useless. We found one of the drawers tracking somehow messed up and wouldn’t go in properly also. Also we had to be careful how we placed the high boy hemnes as it would mess up the drawers if the legs weren’t all lined up.
I would say buyer BEWARE. You get what you pay for. I would never buy IKEA furniture as it isn’t built to last at all. We also had the bookshelves and the back part of the bookcase was just like cardboard!! We only had all our IKEA stuff a couple of years and it was lightly used – no kids at it or anything. I couldn’t sell it fast enough. Oh and it scratches super easy also.
The hemnes is great. I will say if you are not good at putting together furniture then that may be why it does not function well. It can be complicated to assemble. My hubby complains for decades about how much he hates ikea because he ends up putting it together. It saves tons of money I love it. Cover the furniture when moving to prevent scratches and never disassemble it either!
A quick tip. My husband uses gorilla glue around the edges of the drawers when he is putting them together. We had the same problem with the drawer bottoms popping out but when he starting adding the glue we have not had any issues. I realize it is an extra step but IKEA furniture is not made to last. Hemnes is probably there best bedroom dresser/chest product.
3 rooms in our house have brimnes dressers. They have been great add-ons for our closet and perfect dressers for our teens. They are now 8 years old and just survived a move. For budget pieces they are holding up better than other furniture we bought around the same time.
We have 1 Brimnes 4 drawer dresser and 2 side skinny 4 drawer Brimnes dressers. They have held up a move and 6+ years of wear and tear. Highly recommend them.
I have had the HEMNES 6 drawer dresser for 10 years. It has held up really well. We are just now needing to replace it. We have also moved it 5 times. It was an awesome dresser.
Correction: we had the 8 drawer dresser.
I have the Askvoll and it is fantastic! Thanks for this post, I’m searching for another, larger piece and this helps.
You’re very welcome! Glad this list was helpful!
I have the 6 drawer Malm dressers for the kids and I love how roomy they are! They are sturdy too, I love them
I have the SONGESAND dresser in my bedroom (replacing an older HEMNES that was too small for me) and I changed out the pulls provided with some modern brushed gold ones. Really freshens it up and keeps the look modern and chic. Just bought the MALM for my daughter’s room (replacing old wood changing table/dresser combo also from IKEA). So far, it’s super sturdy feeling and she likes how it looks in her room.
If you’re in the market for a dresser but can afford to wait until next year, they do a back to school sale in August and most of the dressers go on sale.
I’m so glad you posted this. My daughter needed a new dresser terribly. I didn’t want to spend a ton but didn’t think IKEA had anything in a style I wanted so I didn’t bother looking. I ended up purchasing the Hemnes 8 drawer. My kids and I assembled it today. I won’t lie, it took several hours, but it went together well and I’m thrilled with how it looks and how sturdy it is. We checked out a video on YouTube that showed assembly step by step which was helpful for a couple steps. I will probably buy different handles that will go better in her room and give it a slightly different look. I would definitely recommend this dresser.
Thank you for explaining how well this worked for you, Linda! We sure appreciate the recommendation!
Love the Malm! I have the 6-drawer dresser and my parents have two 4-drawer dresser and one 6-drawer dresser and we all love it! A bit hard to assemble but worth it! Never had problems so far since last year. Quality is great and holds a lot of our stuffs!
Adding an IKEA glass top for $14 or so is the best investment for any IKEA nightstand. You get them in standard sizes, rounded edges. Keeps the top clean and free from scuffs and water rings.
I have to agree though that Ikea furniture at the lower end is not very sturdy. Great for dorms and kids rooms since they outgrow quickly. At the higher end is too pricey, at least for me. Still I am a sucker for their quirky designs and fun stuff. Love, love their annual catalog. Thanks for putting this list together. It helps to know the pros and cons, plus the feedback from all the wonderful readers of the Hip2save family!
