About New Zealand Radiata Pine Wood:
Radiata Pine, better known as 'New Zealand Pine' is a softwood tree that contains many properties that make it very suitable for furniture and furniture making. It has a density equal to that of hardwoods like poplar, mahogany and oak. Its uniform density ensures a smooth and consistent texture and confers its excellent machining, painting and staining properties; there is almost no variation in color between pieces. Da Vinci's pine wood originates from forests maintained by managers that enforce environmental responsibility and the conservation of forest wildlife.

We purchased the Kalani changer in white for our nursery. We haven't used it yet so I can't say how well it will hold up, but it looks very nice and was relatively easy to put together (although it does require 2 people for some of the steps). I did it while 8 months pregnant so could have been much worse. Everything fit nicely and there were no loose parts or edges that didn't approximate. It is a great bargain for the price, since it looks as nice as the more expensive furniture we looked at in stores. However, my one problem with it is that the drawer bottoms and changing surface are made of particle board and not solid wood. I don't know how well they will hold up. Since the rest of the piece is solid wood, it would have been a nice touch to make these a little more substantial in some way.
The finish had a few partial chips in it (about 3). Nothing terrible, and no naked wood visible. I have noticed this about all white painted furniture, even high end pieces. If you are looking for a beautiful flawless finish, go with a stained piece and not the white.
I received the dresser in good time. It was not too hard to put together, just time consuming because of the drawers. I used a hand screwdriver so I wouldn't risk stripping the screws. [...]. I'm very pleased with my purchase.
