Definitely need a drill for this project! The holes to hang the doors are not pre-drilled enough to make a difference. Once we locate our drill, this won’t be a problem. We are remodeling a walk-in closet space. This armoire will be perfect for that space. The drawers pull in and out smoothly and the lighting is a great addition. This only took about 2 12 hours to assemble. Overall, great piece!
