What are the drawer measurements?
We got the six drawer āwideā version about a year ago from here. I just measured mine, the outside (face) width on each drawer is 18-1/4", the inside storage is 17-1/8" wide by 12-1/8" deep by 2" high. I donāt know about the non-wide version, but you should be able to extrapolate that from my measurements vs the listed overall dimensions. Iām pretty sure they are the same inside depth and height on the drawers, with only the width different between the styles. Hope this helps!
Edit: also it has held up really well over the past year; itās in the kitchen giving us a bit more ācounter spaceā holding our air fryer on top, with the drawers used for misc tools and batteries, spare plastic utensils we save from takeout for when we go camping, meal prep containers, my wifeās candy stash, first aid kit components, etc. Once itās put together it feels really solid and the fact that itās real wood is reassuring in the kitchen where fiberboard and similar composites can swell due to moisture.
The bottoms of the drawers all bent and fell out. Worst Woot buy ever.
I have two of the wide ones, purchased here in May 2015 and December 2018. Assembly was straightforward, took about 30 minutes each. I did use wood glue at the dowel connections for added strength. They are both currently in use in my kitchen with various utensils and knives in the drawers. They have held up good and are made well for the price.
Thatās odd, hasnāt happened to me yet and we have most of the drawers completely full of stuff. You do have to follow the instructions provided, especially paying attention to squaring up the drawers and using the nails to secure the bottoms. Hereās a link to the manual:
I got a pair of these and the taller 8 drawer as well. Follow the directions** and take your time, and you will end up with a solid piece and great value. If you are a crafter/drafter/artist/etc. these things are great for storing your materials.
NOTES** (These are more my tweaks than notes):
- The instructions say not to use power tools. I instantly ignored that line having 4 of them to assemble. The thing that you have to be mindful of here is that a small power driver is FINE. But donāt try to use a giant 12-24v power drill! I used the small power driver to get the screws mostly tight, and then manually tightened the rest of the way.
-There are two sizes of screws. The large screws will split the wood if used in the wrong place. Take your time when starting the screws to make sure they are going in straight, as they are more than happy to go in at an angle, and then poke through the sides if you are not mindful.
-
I bought and used a small bottle of wood glue on all the dowels and overlapping joints
-
I put a tiny bead of glue in all the side slots for the drawer bottom and have had ZERO issues with them bowing, warping, or falling through.
-
I didnāt like the idea of hammering all those tiny ānailsā aka finger smashers, into the back panel. so I bought and used a heavy duty staple gun from the mother ship for $24.99. Again taking care to line up and staple straight. As a bonus, the stapler let me get those white cable/internet wires up off the floor. It also makes a good non-lethal weapon for the nightstand or under pillow.
This isnāt a āsome assembly requiredā item but a kit with no sub-assemblies included. Every single piece has to be put together using tiny screws. The wood is something called plantation pine, and more like balsa then the pine you are probably familiar with. Someone posting that it took 30 minutes to assemble is laughable. Plan on hours. The pieces come from Brazil and they seem to have very little presence in the U.S. other than a āsuiteā in an office building.
Itās no different than any other flat-pack furniture as far as how much assembly is required, and in my experience the instructions are much more readable and detailed than with most flat-pack items. I know itās a meme to make fun of cheap imported furniture kits, but this was one of the easier builds Iāve done over the years.
I will say I agree that it takes longer than 30 minutes if you havenāt done one of these before, but the end result is worth the effort. Like others here, I took the time to build it slowly and carefully, using a square to line things up and using wood glue (not provided) on all the dowels and major joints.
Virtually all self assembly furniture is packaged in a flat box. Anyone who thinks they are in for an Ikea type diy is in for an unpleasant surprise. For a broader range of opinions read the reviews at Home Depot.
And you are obviously connected with the company, why not be upfront with people?
So because Iāve had an easier time assembling it than you, Iām obviously a shill for some Brazilian company, is that it? I mean hey, when do I get that sweet shilling money? And are they paying me in US dollars or Brazilian Reais, because the exchange rate is no joke. Hell, Iām such a terrible shill I had to buy my cart on Woot instead of getting one from Adeptus for all my hard shilling work.
Youāve already proven yourself less than intelligent if you canāt follow directions well enough to assemble cheap furniture, itās no surprise you go for the lowest common denominator insult. If you really want to know what kind of work I do you can stalk my comment history here, or better yet Google my handle and youāll learn all you need to know. TL;DR: Iām an IT manager at two companies under the same owner, neither of which sells flat pack furniture. But hey, here I am assuming you know how to actually read when you canāt even grok a furniture manual.
Hey, guys, please avoid making things personal and throwing around insults. Thank you.
(Please note: I donāt work for Woot, I just volunteer to help out here on the forums.)
Youāre right, my bad. Internet trolls just get under my skin I guess.
Always interesting chatter whenever these go on sale

Thanks.
We have a 120 year old house with narrow stairs so everything upstairs had to be assembled. These carts are the only things that gave us trouble. The drawer bottoms curved under the weight, which has nothing to do with assembly. Perhaps they have replaced the glorified cardboard with something better. Or perhaps reams of paper were simply too heavy.
Off topic: We got some snap together plastic cabinets for the garage that we discovered were made in Israel. I suspect they were designed using a CAD system and then the moulds were made under computer control. Everything fit and it was impossible to put something together upside down or backwards! Plus the packaging that got it to the USA seller was āinternational transit certifiedā and used the best recycled materials I have ever seen. We ended up buying three of them from the mothership. There is quality out there still.
Now this I did not know. Please accept my apologies.
No worries, just understand that someone relaying a good experience doesnāt mean they are shilling. Iāve bought stuff on here before that didnāt live up to my expectations, but I always approach it from the point of view of āokay, so what am I doing wrong here?ā. I learned to do that a long time ago; problem-solving is the meat and potatoes of my job and PEBKAC (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair) is a real thing I am sadly guilty of.
Iāve also found that Woot will stand behind the purchases made on their platform, and any issues one has with a product bought here should be raised with Woot staff ASAP. They are quick to respond and will go out of their way to make you happy. I know it doesnāt help with yours and @radi0j0hnās issues brought up in this thread, but itās a great tool to use with future purchases.
And finally, Iād like to apologize too for insulting your intelligence. I took you for a troll at first but I was wrong. I have an irrational hatred for internet trolls and I lashed out in kind.
I am wondering if I just did a sloppy job of assembling, but I even used duct tape to hold the drawer bottoms in place. Generally speaking, Iāve had great results with stuff from Woot.
