Great dresser for a new apartment and large bedroom. Due to size issues in the stairwell, most furniture we bought had to be ready to assemble. This dresser, along with the matching nightstand, were very clearly marked and labeled to make assembly fairly straightforward, if time-consuming. After spending about 2 and a half hours on the nightstand and getting familiar with the directions, this dresser took me about 3 hours to completely assemble by myself. Having a second person on hand would probably cut that time significantly since so much needs to be held in place. So far, it's the perfect size and look for my new bedroom.
