This was VERY EASY to put together, SAVE your money. It takes about 40 minutes to put together.  I am a woman and my small child helped me.  It's all tongue and groove type of thing, the draw slides are already installed and the only place you will use a tool is putting on the draw hardware and the back of the bureau for mounting to the wall.  HOW EASY IS THAT! 
The back of the bureau is the typical particle board, and I would recommend if you had an industrial stapler to put a few staples as it seems to set loose.  Other than that, Its a very pretty piece and was worth the money I paid.
