Having never assembled furniture this was ingeniously simple. Just follow the pictures.  The furniture arrived early, in perfect condition (heavy duty packaging) and all the pieces fit perfectly. One person could assemble this, but for a few parts, its better to have a helping hand.  This is not being used for a child, but for my closet. I bought two dressers after looking at probably hundreds of dressers in furniture stores and online. The slides on these drawers (which I tested at a baby store before buying), are easy slide and the drawers are some of the most spacious for a small dresser.  The quality -- especially for the price exceeds my expectations. Great closet dresser! Solves my problem at an affordable price.
