This dresser has a clean look and serves the purpose BUT it is in no way a substitute for real wood furniture.  We used it for a walk in closet. The directions were in pictures and easy enough to follow.  Fortunately my husband is handy and realized that this would be very flimsy without adding wood glue and some screws to reinforce it.  Some pieces are connected by plastic joiners only.  The box it arrived in was very heavy and too much for us to carry without a hand truck but the Fed Ex guy did bring it inside for us.  This item is overpriced for what you get.
