My husband put this together, and he did screw it up a little so the one side isn't completely flush. But that was his error. The drawers slide so nicely and that's one of those features I really look for in a dresser, a nice,soft glide to open and shut the drawer. Most reviewers have put it in a girl nursery, but we have a boy and it works well in our nursery and is perfect for his clothes and blankets. We expect to use this until he's about 10 and will need more space for his clothes and possibly want something with a bit more "edge." In saying that, this dresser would certainly last ten years plus easily, which is great for the price it is.
