Instructions were easy to understand and it took about an hour for me to assemble. New furniture scent was pretty strong initially but seems to be going away after a couple weeks. Colors all matches what is shown online so I love how it fits in our room. Quality of the wood could be a little better and the drawer wobbles a little, so don't be too rough when opening/closing (probably not recommmended for a kids room). Love how it looks so hopefully it lasts a long time!
