Easy to put together per the instructions, though it was mostly pictures and not a lot of words. I found that I really had to pay attention to the number labels (the 6 and 9 were confusing!) to easily fit things together. The only downside was that some of the parts did not fit together exactly (the drawer bottoms are supposed to slide into the slots but some didn't line up correctly so I had to unscrew and really hammer it in). Once that was resolved, the drawers slid into the entire structure seamlessly. I bought two of these and each one took about 80-90 minutes to put together. (The first time took a longer because I was really trying to understand what goes where.) I know some reviewers commented that the drawer handles seemed flimsy (I think they're a bit small), but I don't mind them. Overall, they look nice in our bedroom.
