Husband put this together today, took about 2.5 hours. At a certain point he began to use a drill because this dresser requires lots of screws. We purchased this to go in our nursery to be used as a changing table; it is the perfect height/width (our changing pad is on the wide side so this was perfect). Some of the pieces came with marks, but I was able to use a disinfecting wipe to take them off (whew). Overall, the dresser looks very beautiful. I took off one star because the bottoms of the drawers seem pretty flimsy. Not sure how they will holdup in the long run.
