The shipping was incredibly fast, I ordered this dresser Monday afternoon and got it Thursday. It arrived in two packages which made moving them easier as this thing is HEAVY. The assembly instructions aren't very clear in certain spots, I took my time and made sure to line pieces up before assembling just to make sure I didn't have to redo any steps. It took me about 3 and a half hours total to put the dresser together, including time to realign the drawers to make sure they weren't crooked/looked good. The color of the dresser is darker than what it looks like in the pictures I took, it matches perfectly with my other bedroom furniture. It's the perfect size for the room too, for reference the TV in the picture is a 32". Overall, for the price this dresser is perfect, I highly recommend it!
