Instructions were easy to follow but some of the dowels needed tapping into the holes with a mallet and some just slipped in, therefore making alignment very difficult. I would never pay the original price for these so not convinced I got a bargain. They look ok once built but with all the drawers out of alignment despite all the dowels and screws fitted as per instructions they are disappointing. If I had the energy I would return them all but my niece has just moved and needs something now. Next time it is “ready built” only for me as they look nothing like the picture.
