This dresser was made of pressed particle board-VERY HEAVY! Instructions had NO WORDS! just drawings which were not always clear. I ended up putting one side upside-down and of course that didn't allow the drawers to slide in. Having said that it was very Nice looking once I got it together. The drawers slide nicely and it is attractive. DO NOT TRY TO MOVE THE LOCATION OF IT! IT TIPS OVER EASILY. I do no not have small children so it will be ok un-attached to the wall. I would suggest paying the $95 to have it assembled if you are alone (and especially if you are a woman).
