The assembly was surprisingly easy although the instruction left a lot to be desired.  They should take a page from IKEA manuals.  However, the reason for 3 stars is that the construction is not fool-proof, such as yours truly.  A couple of the drawers are slightly skewed.  You don't see it until you are looking for it.  The painted wood does not look great either.  I would advise folks to but the stained ones and stay away from the painted ones.  Outside of these issues, I expect it to work fine.
