Beautiful furniture piece! Arrived very well packaged and not damaged. The color is just what we wanted. Very solid, super heavy! Not necessarily difficult to assemble, just very time consuming. Best if done with 2 people. And drawers do not come out easily once in place. It's really too heavy to move & transport with drawers in place, so removing them would makes it a bit lighter, but they are difficult to remove. And as much as we tried to adjust as the directions indicated, the spacing between 2 of the drawers is not even. Not a huge problem except for people who are more detail oriented and would prefer things to appear symmetric & properly aligned (like me!) Drawers do glide easily. We DID NOT install the drawer lock as it is not going to be used around any small children. And we prefer being able to open more than one drawer at a time. But it's a good safety feature to have if needed. In general, we are very pleased with this chest of drawers.
