What a great chest of drawers for the price! It feels very solid when put together - like a much more expensive piece. I put it together myself. It was not difficult, but WAS very tedious, especially since I only had a hand screwdriver! Took me two hours all told - not bad. Unpacking it was honestly worse than assembling... there was just sooo much styrofoam and it splintered into a ton of tiny little beadssnowflakes. Made a big mess that I had to clean before even beginning the real project. But Im super happy with this purchase overall. The end result is great!
