The bureau was exactly as pictured.  The step-by-step instructions were very clear and easy to follow.  All the hardware was there and there was even one or two extras of every piece.  The instructions suggested some of the steps required two people, but I was able to do the assembly by myself.  All of the holes lined up perfectly.  I had an electric screwdriver, which made the entire job easier, because there are a lot of screws.  It took me 3 or 4 hours to assemble and looks great.
