This took two of us a good chunk of two full days to put together, with the drawers clunky and doors impossible to line up. No matter how nice the piece is, it looks like junk when things don’t line up and open/close properly. I had thought about purchasing the assembly but we’re not idiots and have successfully assembled other pieces. The instructions are decent but not perfect. If you’re even thinking about getting this piece assembled professionally, just do it. Don’t waste an entire Memorial Day weekend like we did having to figure out putting this together properly!
