This dresser is perfect for a first apartment with limited space. No space is wasted with thin pieces of wood and the drawers have the expected amount of room for your clothes. This dresser isn't light but isn't difficult to assemble-- just be mindful there are a couple of screws you have to drill in without a guided hole (this happens when attaching the rails to the inside of the dresser; the fourth hole isn't pre-drilled but the other three are so it is easy to figure out where this fourth screw is meant to go). Also, don't use a drill to assemble as the wood can split, I used a small hand held electric screwdriver and it worked perfectly!  Love the color and the look of this modern dresser!! Expected quality for price.
