I was surprised with the quality of this dresser, as I have had bad online furniture shopping experiences in the past. This dresser is solid wood, no particle board. It’s heavy and sturdy. It took around 1.5 -2 hours for us to put together. Not difficult just time consuming. The finish is beautiful and has a wood grain so it is not completely flat like particle board would be. I highly recommend to anyone. We have a very large master so I used these as our nightstands even though they are the size of a dresser. Drawers are easy to slide in and out, they don’t stick.
