This is a very nice looking dresser once it's put together, and it's sturdy.  The drawers operate smoothly.  My husband and I are very handy, and it still took us about three hours to assemble.  Everything went pretty well, with just one exception.  One of the drawer boards was not drilled properly, so the holes were not in the right places.  We were able to drill the holes in the correct places and keep moving, so it wasn't a big problem.  Overall we are pleased with the purchase, and our daughter loves it.
