I gave up putting it together and had the movers put it together for me. The holes didn't match the size of the screws so many of them had to be taken out, made bigger, and put back together. Took about 6.5 hours to build the framework and one drawer. It's very pretty, though, and for little boy's first dresser, it will do just fine. Also, the wood had many imperfections; however, some of those added to the rustic look and nature of the dresser.
