Not sure how they came up with assemble time of 45 mins - maybe they meant to unpack it. I was absolutely shocked that it was shipped from CA to VA and incurred zero damage. Fitting the drawers was a weird experience. I'm still not sure how I solved the problem. I would slide an assembled drawer in and it would be off. I would move it somewhere and it would fit. This occurred for 4 of 6 drawers. So don't think something is off with the drawer or the slides, just keep trying different locations.
