This is a really beautiful dresser. Like other reviewers said it took a very long time to put together. We also had pieces with scratches on them. Most of them are hidden, though there are several on the front and sides. Given that it is real wood I don’t think it takes away from the look of it. The drawers do glide on wood but it’s a very smooth pull. The instructions say to use beeswax to keep an even smooth glide. Over all we are happy with the purchase.
