I was able to assemble it by myself, although having a second person would have been nice.  The packaging on the large box had come open during shipment, but to my relief there was no damage to the dresser parts.  As others have said, pay close attention when installing the drawer slides, as the pictures are not very clear as to orientation. The only flaw was that one of the holes for a dowel on a drawer front was not punched through; I used wood glue and it seems to be holding alright.  It looks very nice, and I think it's a nice piece for this price point.
