Requires complete assembly. I'm pretty handy with tools, but this still took me around an hour to assemble as there are lots of parts and pieces. Quality is fine (about what you would expect for the price range). Mine was delivered with some minor dents and some scratches. I didn't want to go through the hassle of returning. The package included some touch up markers to cover up any scratches which came in handy. 

Overall, I'm assigning 4 stars to this because, for the price, the dresser is nice, packing was nice, and it will serve its purpose.
