I wish i took photos of the before. Assembly took me about 5  12 hours. instructions were not clear and we’re missing steps. The only reason I did not purchase the assembly is because it was more than the dresser but I wish I did. one of my drawers is a little off, but in order to fix it, I would have to take everything apart which was a headache the first time. LED lights are really pretty that I can honestly say. It’s cute a little smaller than I expected overall for the money it’s a good purchase, but definitely purchase the assembly because I was not expecting that nightmare
