Absolutely beyond what I'd expected. We'd looked for dressers at all the local furniture stores as well as discount furniture stores and the Delta dresser was by far the cheapest. I was expecting cheap materials and misaligned holes in what I assumed would be essentially a cardboard dresser, but I took a chance and ordered it anyway as it ticked all the boxes of what I was looking for. I was pleasantly surprised by how heavy duty this dresser is. It took 2 people to carry the box into the house. Assembly was a bit time intensive, but I am 8 months pregnant and was able to do it entirely myself in a combined 2 hours. It'd probably take much less time to build with 2 people working on it. The drawers slide nicely and it feels very sturdy to have the changing station on top of it. Overall, I'd highly recommend it!
