I purchased this dresser in the darker wood option. (I believe it was espresso.) It looks phenomenal. The quality was excellent. It took my husband and I less then 45 minutes to put it together, but we were watching Netflix while we were completing that task. (So it really doesn't take that long, and the directions are clear.) I needed a dresser that wasn't too deep, or too wide, but didn't look so small in scale that you would confuse it for a nightstand. This is a win/win for tight spaces, quality of materials, and function.
