Not an easy assembly-- it took me almost five hours to put this together and I am a former carpenter, so I had tools like a bar clamp to make the job easier.  I would not recommend buying this is you don't have a few basic skills.   A couple of undesirable things-- the bottom of the drawers does not have needed support along the back edge.  I am going to add a strip of wood, as I expect to keep some heavier items in them.  Also annoyingly, the Masonite back drawer bottoms came with stickers on their faces that cannot be removed without marring the surface.
