Horrible choice.  My husband has been very successful at assembling    furniture, he loves to do woodwork and has added beautiful chair rails and crown moldings to our home...so he is very capable.  However, this dresser was a mess.  In the end, we just threw it away.  He worked on it for a very long time before deciding to just throw it away.  It was a total waste of time and money.  Sorry to say, it just is not worth it.  I definitely would not recommend this particular piece.
