Assembly is not for the faint of heart. The instructions are clear and putting it together is not complicated, but it is labor intensive. Took around two hours. It is also extremely heavy, so put it together where you plan on placing it. That said, I really like it. The drawers are deep and offer plenty of storage. The table is very sturdy, however, the detachable diaper changing section only attaches to the back of the table so it feels less secure than I’d like. The open shelf can double as a book shelf (however, it is not very tall so bigger books won’t fit). And it’s neutral tones work nicely for whatever your nursery decor.
