The dresser looks great once assembled, just as good as the catalog photo. As some other reviewers have mentioned, it is time consuming to put together if you are working on your own. It took me a little over three hours to assemble on my own. It would go a lot faster though if you have two people - I would suggest one person works on the frame while one person assembles the drawers for maximum efficiency. Also, due to the size of the dresser, having a large open space to work in would be ideal. I'm rating this four stars rather than five because the entire desk is particle board (high end IKEA quality) - it looks great, but I think it's about $50 overpriced. Wait for a sale or a discount if you can.
