This dresser was the most painful thing to put together!!! I did it on my own and it took me a whole day. I felt like I needed the strength of Hercules in order to screw certain parts together (specifically the backs of the drawers). The backs of the drawers are manufactured wood and kept splitting while I was nailing the bottoms. That was frustrating. I finally got the whole thing together and when I put the drawers in, there is a small gap between some of them. Extremely irritating!! I just don't think this was a good purchase at all. The only reason I kept it was because I had gone to far to put it together, just to put it back in the box and return it.
