Dresser was easy to assemble using mostly the cam lock and nut fastening system. Some screws where used to fasten the drawers and tacks for the backing material. No tools where included with this kit so you will need a Phillips screwdriver and hammer. I would also recommend having a bubble level for installing the drawer slides since there is some play. The drawer fronts are also adjustable. So I recommend installing all the drawers then adjusting the fronts to get everything evenly spaced and square. It took me about 2 hours to assemble. There were a few minor scratches to the veneer which I fixed with a scratch crayon. Color and dimensions are accurate to the description.
