Hi - does anyone have any experience with dressers and/or combo dressers from Creations? Creations advertises English dovetail drawer construction, but I noticed that on the case goods (dressers, combos, etc.) the drawer fronts are NOT English dovetail drawer construction. From what I could tell, only the back of the drawers feature the English dovetail drawer construction.
The other thing that concerns me is the all wood-on-wood drawer guides. There appears to be conflicting opinions on the internet about whether this is a good thing or not. When I compared the drawer mechanism on Creations' April combo dresser with Munire's Deco dresser (metal glides), the Creations drawers do not glide as smoothly. That's not to say that the drawers on the April combo is hard to pull out--it just took a little more effort.
So now I'm really confused about the quality of Creations' case goods and I'm not really sure what all this means in terms of durability. I would love to hear from anyone who has a dresser or combo dresser from Creations (esp. the April line). I'm also looking at the April crib so any feedback on that would be greatly appreciated as well!
Thanks in advance from a first time mom-to-be!
