As other reviews have said, this dresser does take some time to put together. Having said that, if you've ever put ikea furniture together this is no more difficult than that. Have a glass of wine and make some fun out of it with your spouse/friend/whatever. There were no hiccups for us assembling. It's more sturdy than I was anticipating and is a really eye catching piece. Drawers are a decent depth
Four stars because ours came with some scratches.
