Pretty straightforward and simple to put together if you are comfortable with basic home improvement type stuff and have basic tools. i had to shorten mine which was a breeze with a hacksaw and a circular saw. My main complaint is that the templates included for the drawers really aren't precise enough and you need to be careful about how you cut them out and measure a few times. My drawers ended up a tad out of alignment, though they do work and you wouldn't really notice it. I'll re-adjust the one of these days. Also the "face" of the drawers attaches with wood screws that strip out super easily, i guess you should expect that from particle board furniture but watch for it. I had to use glue and clamps and drill new holes on 2 of the 4 drawers.
