This is a sturdy and well made set. It definitely took quite some time to put together the dresser, as others have said, but it was mostly just time intensive. The color is definitely on the orange side. We thought it would be much more beachy and light. It's hard to tell what it will look like until it's together, unfortunately, so I would say if you don't want an orange and white striped bedroom set you may want to keep looking. We're planning to paint ours - ugh!
