As someone on a budget, I have built many pieces of boxed furniture from Target, IKEA, and other places. I actually weirdly kind of enjoy it. I feel like it's a lego puzzle but for adults and a lot less colorful. However, this dresser had me muttering, "I want to kill myself," so many times. There are steps where you have to use an awl to carve your own holes in the pieces (truly, I kid you not), and I would have given up on this without an electric drill. If you are not used to building furniture from boxes, turn away and run from this thing. I mean, it's not that cute! Just go to Goodwill if you can't afford something nicer, and if you can afford something nicer, for the love of god, just order something nicer! If you are looking to  torture a family member or friend, then go ahead and order this.
