I really love this chest. Yes, there were a few assembly issues, like most of the hardware being thrown into one bag. Prepare 20 minutes for separating and counting that. And none of the pieces were marked, except the drawer sides. That said, it is not too hard to figure it all out. It took me about 5 hours to assemble by myself, but I don't have an electric screwdriver, and I'm a 62 year old woman, so you can do it! Pro Tip: Many people commented about seeing brown instead of white in the gap at the bottom between lowest drawer and bottom of dresser. I assembled the same way, then realizedif you just flip the bottom portion of dresser so that the white faces inward, and the brown is on the bottom, it is then perfect. Also, if a drawer gap appears larger than it should between drawers, just try switching drawers between each other - it worked for me. This appears to be a very sturdy dresser that will last.
