Beautiful dresser! Not difficult to assemble at all, just took a good amount of time. From unpacking to completely assembled, about 3 hours with a drill. It arrived with a few minor flaws, like a chip in one place (but luckily covered by the drawer), little bit of wear probably from shipping on the top edge of the dresser and shipping glue got on the front of a couple drawers. I was a little irritated when I noticed these, but I didn't feel it was worth the hassle of re-packaging and shipping it out. Now, I don't really notice them. Its a beauty!
