The dresser is nice and solid wood which is a huge plus. It did take a while to put together but it is sturdy. We did have one piece in the front a bit bowed, but that happens with real wood. The bow actually came out once everything was put together. We also had an issue where the pocket holes on the long strip of wood above the top drawers were put in the wrong side so we had to install it upside down with the unfinished edge facing the drawer instead of the top board. That's not big deal since you can't even see it unless you are on the floor when you open the top drawer. The only reason I am knocking off a star is because there is a small chance missing from the front face of one of our top drawers, and because the rails that the drawers slide on are the wheel type instead of the ball bearing type. They work well enough, but you can feel the side to side play in them.
