It took me about an hour to put together by myself. Would have gone much faster with another person. I have gotten SO many compliments about the rich dark color. I also got the dresser combo in Espresso, and the room just looks great!!
The only reason why I had a CON of it being unstable is that a couple of screws don't want to stay tightened. It's not a deal breaker by any means, just something that bothers me a little bit.
