This is a great dresser. It is mostly solid wood, although it does have the particle board at back which I was hoping it wouldn’t. There were a few scratches on top piece but some polishing got rid of them so I didn’t feel need to send back any pieces. My boyfriend put it together and it definitely took a while but he said it wasn’t too hard. So far it’s holding up great and I am very happy with my purchase. Definitely recommend.
