The dresser took 3 people about 2.5 hours to build. When putting on the top of the dresser, one of the pegs did not even come close to lining up and it was a frustrating mess trying to push and pull to get it to fit. When that didn't work, we had to take out about 6 screws to re-try. I would suggest screwing in the right and left side of the dresser top prior to screwing in the middle portion. Instructions were easy to read and the dresser seems to be good quality - all wood and there are wood plank supports under each drawer. I will be changing out the knobs due to personal preference.
