This is exactly what I was looking for ... a solid, pine dresser. It took some time to put together, mainly because I used a manual screwdriver rather than a drill bit or battery screwdriver. I feel like I have more control with a hand-held screwdriver. If you use a drill with screwdriver bits, it will go much faster. I put it together by myself with absolutely no help from anybody, so it's simple and the directions are perfect and easy to follow. The finished product is gorgeous! It's exactly as described in looks and use.
