I'm impressed with this dresser so far. It's sturdy (the only weak spot is the seam between the back panels, but the drawers seem to compensate for that), and although it took a while to put together, it was easy to do as long as I read and followed the instructions (don't think you know how it will go and try to jump ahead--you'll end up taking it back apart because it's like a jigsaw puzzle with the way all the pieces fit together). NOTE: the legs are only 4 inches, so not tall enough to put my shoes beneath it, so I had to buy risers to screw into them. Planning on painting it black since is a basic gray color with brown undertones, like barn siding, I guess.
