It looks exactly as represented online. It *IS* very heavy -- the FedEx delivery guy had a hard time wheeling it into our entryway even on a dolly. And it is a bit of a beast to assemble. But all the pieces were there and the instructions were pretty straightforward. It took me a couple hours total to get it all put together. Mostly by myself. (And I'm 7 months pregnant.) I did have to enlist help to flip the piece over and then to get it upright, but otherwise it was doable. (Also, I've put together PLENTY of Ikea furniture in the past.) It looks very nice to me, feels sturdy and will be a great piece for baby #2's room.
