This dresser was a complete nightmare to build.  Took over 6 hours and before you think you can do it faster, I have put together an entire house from empty to livable - 2 times - and this was the worst piece of furniture I’ve ever dealt with.  I will add the directions are very good and made it easy to follow the 23 steps to get it together.  Once together we spent another 2.5 hours trying to get the drawers to go in and actually work.  The dresser looks lovely - but buy it assembled if you really want it!
