Assembling the chest is an onerous job because I was doing it a lone. The woods are of good quality as most of them are quite heavy--except some parts of the drawer. Due to lack of explanation in the instruction, I didn't put the parts of a drawer in the right way, the result being the drawer broken. Luckily it was the bottom drawer so I could still "fake" it by standing the front while the inside was actually falling apart! It could have been such a nice chest!
