This is a tough review because the end product looks great. Unlike a lot of assemble-it-yourself furniture, it feels really sturdy. Nothing wobbles. And it looks really nice and high-quality. I expect it to last a very long time.

It took a very long time to put together, and the instructions are unclear at several key points. I'd read all the reviews about the difficulty of building it, and took it slow, but yet twice we had to disassemble and put back together. It's not us - some of the pictures are simply downright incorrect or incomplete. For example at one point in the instructions, one the drawer walls is simply not even shown in the diagram - yet clearly it ought to be installed alongside the others. 

Pro-tips: look ahead in the instructions, work backward, and use the finish on the pieces. Don't rely on the shapes or orientation in the instructions - because at least in our set, it was totally incorrect.
