I will admit my husband put this together so I can't speak to how hard it is to put together. However it is very very spacious and sturdy- holds basically and entire closet and dresser worth of clothes! I took everything off a temporary rolling rack and out of a dresser in my room, and still had room left over!
It is made of real wood- not plywood or particle board. You can assemble using a real drill. 
I will add I think our package was opened and perhaps returned- there was a few finger prints and the package looked re-taped.
