I already had another dresser in this style and color that I purchased roughly a year ago - I needed just a tad more storage, so I opted to purchase this one too. It's really a two-person job to carry the box - it's very heavy. Assembly was clunky, but relatively quick. It took about 60-90 minutes for two of us to put it together - the drawers took the longest and required some real elbow grease and a screwdriver. And it can be a bit deflating to see the drawers don't line up exactly with the front of the dresser. It still looks really good though. It's a beautiful piece.
