It was easy to assemble in the sense that if you are good at following the instructions it’s a breeze, but a breeze that takes time. It took me 3 hrs, with minimal help from my daughter who was helping holding things here and there and building the drawers(this part alone took us 1 hr) well worth it though. Gave it 4 stars instead of 5 bc I had to reorder due to a mistake in shipping and ended up paying a little more. Reason I re ordered same was bc my daughter really wanted it but in reality after waiting 2 weeks and then having to cancel and reorder I didn’t really want to. But my daughter’s wishes comes first
