Wowee what a chore to assemble!!! I almost gave up.    I was so frustrated with the instructions and the pieces. The pieces got scratched and the veneer peeled as I was just separating them out of the boxes. The directions were vague and the pictures were little help. I had to take apart sections and reassemble because I left parts out because I didnt see it clearly on the instruction sheet. It took 2 days to assemble because I had to put it aside for a while so I wouldnt throw it across the room. Now that its assembled, its okay. The top drawer is a little crooked, but Im NOT going to take ANYTHING apart and put back together. If you are prepared for a difficult assembly, this cabinet is good for the price. Its sturdy and great for storage of small items and shoes. I use the hanging pole for scarves, but it will hold clothing nicely.
