IT. CAME. ASSEMBLED. Well, minus the pulls, but those took about 5 minutes to put on. After years of building Ikea drawers, this was such a welcomed change. The dresser looks great - good quality and sturdy.  One watch out - the dresser comes on a wood pallet. Careful when moving it not to drag as we scraped up our wood floors. But as long as you're careful, it's a great piece.
