First of all, this took me well over three hours to put together. They say you need two people, and yes, a few times I had my daughter help me, but one person is definitely enough if you don't mind screwing in 5, 000 screws and pegs and following a series of totally cumbersome directions that are sometimes confusing. What's worse is after finally finishing everything, one of the drawers did not fit in properly. I could not have been more angry. For a little bit more I could have avoided the incredibly labor-intensive instructions and gotten a piece of furniture that not only looked good but was functional. My daughter is happy to have this but I, for one, feel robbed. Oh, the package weighs A TON. I don't even know how our delivery guy put it by the door. I needed help lifting it into the house and had to carry each piece to the bedroom to assemble it.
