i absolutely love this piece! the directions could have been a bit more detailed and clear, but they were not confusing by any means. i put it together solo, so it's very doable to do by yourself! it would be nice though if it was more than a piece of particle board for the back of the dresser, it's very thin and doesn't take well to the tiny nails that came with it. also the front white wooden piece that attaches to the dresser top arrived with paint chips and scratches when i opened it out of the box which was disappointing for a $260 dresser. it is very sturdy though and i like that it can grow from a dresser/changing table into a dresser as my child gets older!!
