Initially, I thought this was Ikea because it was particle board. After taking out the drawers (all coming apart on the sides) the structure was DEFINITELY NOT Ikea. It had some wood components.
Besides each drawer falling apart (held by staples), the railing on each side was bent and the bottom right corner was not being held together anymore, so it was very wobbly.
I decided to fix the rails since they were bent, but be easy to just unscrew and put back. Problem was, it did not use a normal screw, it used a square recess bit!!!! DEFINITELY NOT Ikea.
After straightening the rails, I had to figure what to do with the corner. The corner had 5 long staples, all bent out of shape and the whole they had worn out where they were initial put. I removed those staples (tough) and put 3 screws instead. I had to flip it over as you can see in this picture below.
After these quick fixes, the dresser is strong and stable. Drawers work with no issue. Then I saw this in the back.
Very faint, it says "Made in Canada".
