This dresser is definitely over priced, the 6 drawer is much cheaper and the 8 drawer only adds a extra 8 inches in height. I bought this only because the 6 was out of stock and I had already purchased the night table and 5 drawer. It wasn't overly hard to put together and took us less time than others stated. You do have to be very careful while assembling so you don't chip the pieces. We were short a few screws for a drawer but this manufacturer shipped them same day and should be here in a few days. Over all it looks nice, you get what you pay for. I am sure if we treat it well it'll hold up ok.
