To start off this item really needs to be packaged in 2 boxes. This was the 2nd that was shipped after the first one also being damaged in shipping. First one I was notified bu shipper so I was not able to see the damage on that one. This one came with box damage and the corners being crushed. A box it shipping weighing 150 pounds is too much. 
Now as far as assembling the instructions said it should take 90 mins. It took 3 hours after unpacking the box for 2 people to assemble. I have assembled other furniture like this and never took that long by myself. You need lots of patience to put this together. The drawer rails were all bent from the way everything was packed inside the box. One of the drawers is already broken due to the rails being bent and not working gliding correctly. My opinion the cheap partial board is not worth the price of this piece.
