I bought this dresser because the drawers measured deeper than a lot of the others on the site. I put this together by myself, and it took me 2 hours and 10 minutes. The directions are easy to understand, and also I have built a lot of furniture over the years, so it was easy for me to assemble... but my hands do have blisters from the screwdriver. I would not use a drill because I could imagine the screws easily breaking through the wood. It is a VERY small dresser but the quality is good and I think it looks very nice. If you need something to fit ALL of your clothes I might go with something else. This is just for my daughters under clothes, pajamas, etc. So it works for us!
