Very heavy. Seems sturdy good quality. Lots of parts but just go one page at a time. I freaked out at first but before I knew it I was on page 7. Took me about 2 hrs to get it together but I love it. The drawers slide nicely and like I said its heavy so I know it wont tip when I try to open the drawers. You'll need a Phillips head screwdriver, hammer and a ruler. I didnt see this mentioned in the directions.
