This was a doozy to put together, as others have stated. But the upside to all those bits and pieces and tons of hardware is that you end up with a nice, sturdy piece of boxed furniture. The instructions say to use a screwdriver....whether or not you use a screwdriver depends on how much you hate yourself. Personally, I enjoy indulging in a little self love and took a low power drill to this baby. An electric screwdriver would also be a good idea. (I  wouldnt use your big daddy power drill since its manufactured wood, you wouldnt want to split any of the boards.)
But the finished piece is very pretty, sturdy, and holds all of our clothing items just fine! 
We selected this piece because of the nice raised board around the top. We are crazy, and have seven cats. Im sure you can figure out the inevitable fate of items placed on top of our dresser. This has put a stop to late night feline protests via slinging items off the top of the dresser.
