This was for my mother-in-law.  We purchased the armoire, headboard and dresser. Took my husband about two hours to put up each piece by himself.  The exception being the headboard as it took him about an hour. The instructions are not the best but were good.  It's wood, had to be assembled.  It's NOT Ikea.  Its sturdy, decent wood and has reinforcements throughout.  I would purchase this again.
