This dresser took me about 4 hours to put together. If you're a novice , it might take you awhile. I like the finished product. It looks darker almost gray in a dimmer room and lighter in a brighter room. I am not a fan of those hidden cams that require a screw to be twisted. One of the legs became loose had to twist it again. Overall I'm happy with the dresser especially with the grooves in the wood.
