This is a nice dresser! Bigger than I expected and pretty solid.  It is not real wood, but particle board with veneers, but that's ok.  It is very solid and looks really nice with the metal accents.  It was purchased for a first apartment and I think it will hold up nicely for many years.  Not an heirloom piece mind you, but great for a starter place or kids room.  Drawers are roomy.  Assembly is tedious.  Give yourself several hours to get it all together.  Directions are good, but there are  alot of parts.  Just takes time, but everything was there and went together without any trouble.  I did it by myself.
