This piece requires a little work to assemble and the instructions are not the most clear at times. You should have some help on hand, as well; at least one person. As for the quality, my first impression is that the dresser is well-made. It’s sturdy, doesn’t feel wobbly anywhere, and even the drawers have lots of support. It looks exactly like the picture. It fits in nicely with the eclectic decor in my family’s home. Overall, I’m very happy with this dresser!
