The first thing I noticed was the chemical smell. Wow its really strong and I buy things on line all the time. This is the strongest Ive experienced.  Left the windows open a few hours, but its still pretty bad 1 day later. Probably should have left it in the garage for a few days. Oh well. Lots of pieces and lots of packing material took the better part of the afternoon to put together but it was just me and no power tools. The directions arent very good just pictures. Some of the pieces are hard to figure out which side is up and which is down. I thought the dresser was going to be soft white, but its white-white! Its fine, it will work. Other then that, it fits into my small space perfectly and plan to use it as a replacement for me night stand.
