We hired someone to put this together, and it took even a pro 4 hours to figure out. It's true to shape though and we had no issues with misalignment or any other design flaws. The little knobs are flimsy but seem easy enough to switch out if you are creative and have a specific look in mind. The drawers are NOT deep in any direction so prepare to fit about a large suitcase worth of clothes in there maximum. Great value for the price!
