Love this chest! Came fully assembled, just had to move he handles from inside to outside. It's very very big and heavy so beware! My boyfriend and I struggled to get it unboxed and into our bedroom but it was manageable. If you live alone or don't have an extra set of muscles around you might want to pay for the in room delivery option. The draws are a little small compared with how large the piece itself is. The pinewood is distressed and looks very rustic. The draws don't have dovetailing so this probably isn't a family heirloom but all and all this is a pretty solid piece and definitely an upgrade from ikea
