This was SO difficult to build...I read other reviews saying the same thing and thought "How hard could it be?". It took 2 days to build, with help from my fiance. I have built a lot of furniture on my own/with my fiance and this was by far the most difficult. One piece also came split in half, but luckily I was able to use wood glue to keep it together. It's pretty nice now that it's built but something else I don't like is that you can't take the drawers out once they're in if you add in the stoppers and the drawers are smaller than I expected them to be. The handles are also very sharp on the corners and I'm just waiting for the day I tear a piece of my clothes on them (I've already cut my finger).
