Pretty solid piece.  Yes it will take you a while to complete and yes there are a lot of pieces, but that is what makes it a nice piece.  I broke up the construction over a few nights doing; the main frame, the back and changing table and then the drawers. 

Pay close attention to the pictures, there are no words so the pictures show you what orientation some pieces should be placed in. 

I feel like it's pretty sturdy. The only reasoning I have for people saying it's not is if they did not complete the rotation of the "cam lock and dowel."  These were rather hard to do, until I switched over to my drill.  Just set the clutch pretty low and you won't have an issue.  Once you turn the cam locks from a 12 o'clock position to a 7 o'clock position everything tightens up very well.  If you don't it will be a pretty shaky dresser.

Pictures are pretty true to color. Dark brown close to black.
