Based on previous reviews, we decided to hire someone to professionally assemble this and it took THEM a long time. That said, I am not sure this is much of a bargain over a fully assembled dresser that you might pay a couple hundred more for. One of the feet came without a predrilled hole, which we added in but doesn't offer a totally secure fit to the hardware. This sort of oversight concerns me about the long-term quality, but it does look nice.
