Definitely recommend having a second person assist with assembly. I did it by myself and it took me forever to put it together. The instructions are clear...it’s just a lot of work. I recommend buying some extra all purpose glue because the little packet they provide was not enough for me. There were some screws that I could not place with a handheld screw and would need a power tool, however, I don’t have one so I just did without the screws and I’m hoping it’ll be fine. All in all, it’s a good dresser for the sale price I got it. I wouldn’t pay the original price for it but it is pretty.
