I am a graduate student who was in desperate need of a dresser - especially on a budget. It took around 3-4 hours to assemble by myself but the directions were easy to follow and all the parts were there. If everything is assembled properly, no drawer bottoms should fall out and the dresser itself is very sturdy. For the price and for the fact that it was do-it-yourself assembly, I'm very happy with this product and glad I bought it.
