Kind of a long assembly process. I am a furniture maker and it took me at least 2.5 hours. I also just dont like doing drawers lol. But its a great little dresser once all is said and done. I would suggest a dark walnut Minwax stain pen to hide scratches. PaintHardware stores usually have them. Mine was scratched but the pen made them 100 dissappear. All in all, im happy.
