It's tedious to assemble, especially when you're a 5'5" 120 lbs woman with limited upper body strength. It took me 6 hours to assemble it (with breaks), but it actually worked. I was concern that the drawers would crook, but alas, as long as you follow the instruction to the T, it works well. It's a bit on a smaller size, so pay attention to the spec. But for a small bedroom, this is perfect, fome.
