Wow that was quite an ordeal to put together.. The biggest issue I had was that the drawer bottom panel was not cut to fit the framing of the drawers.. I had to take all 6 panels and cut off exactly 0.5" using a rotary saw. I actually broke a piece of the drawer by trying to fit what was sent to me. After cutting it though - it fit great and all worked out. Instructions are not difficult to follow at all. Managed to put everything together by myself, kind of a juggle - but it was fine. The frame itself feels pretty sturdy - and I love the frames and color.
