I bought two of these dressers for my new apartment and it took me about 3 hours to build them both, in tandem with my partner. The instructions are very straight forward and easy to follow, there’s just a lot of steps involved. So far so good with the piece and they look very lovely in our room. Even while empty, both dressers feel very sturdy—we’re very pleased! I would’ve preferred if it were bigger but that’s okay, we checked the measurements before buying and knew it wouldn’t be as big as our previous dressers. Just be sure to check the measurements before purchasing because these dressers can easily be too small for someone with a lot of clothes to store.
