Unexpectedly good quality.  I did take my husband and I about 4 hours to assemble this (and we're still speaking).  We did not find we needed to use a drill. The directions are easy to follow until you get to the drawers.  Look carefully.  I don't think being a master carpenter would have made it go much faster.  It just takes time to put the parts together.  It's just perfect for what we needed it for.  An ebay seller had this listed for $399. Shipping was great and the company is fabulous to work with.
