After I read the reviews on this dresser, the cons seemed to be only that it was really heavy and hard to put together. I found that yes it was very heavy which was expected. I think it was heavy because it is a very nice sized dresser, and made of pretty thick and sturdy wood which only made it better. As long as you follow the directions on the paper, and leave the stickers on the wood to keep you organized, I enjoyed putting it together. The dresser looks beautiful, and had a ton or drawer space. An awesome addition to my bedroom!!
