This took two of us around six hours to make. The review about it taking eight hours was not a joke. I bought it because it was the look I wanted. Assembly is very frustrating; some of the pieces keep repeatedly kept coming out. It might be worth paying for the assembly option, as long as you aren't be charged by the hour. After finishing making it, I felt like it should really cost $80 because of the frustration in assembly. Also, the drawers are smaller than I imagined, but I could have probably figured this out using the dimensions on the website. I was hoping to fit work out clothes as well, and it doesn't have enough room. Basically, if you're up for spending six hours making it, it does come out looking decent.
