My husband was able to put this together in about 2 hours. He said the directions were straight forward and that it wasn’t bad putting it together. You can see my hand “measuring” the drawer for you. The drawers could definitely pull out a couple more inches but overall it’s do-able. I have a baby blanket in the drawer also for reference. The drawers slide in  out easily. Looks very nice in the baby room. Haven’t really used it yet since we just assembled it but I think it’ll work great as a changing table and dresser combo.
