The instructions say assembly is 'easy as 1, 2, 3!'...that's an understatement. Besides having a million parts to put together, this filing cabinet is really nice and affordable! I bought 2 and so far they are very stable, the drawer glides open and close nicely, and it has an anti-tip feature so if one drawer is open the second drawer won't open to cause it to tip. My only complaint (besides the time consuming assembly) is the decorative pull is an odd size and my fingers don't fit underneath to pull the drawers open.
