This dresser arrived in two large boxes and took my husband and I about two hours to put together. It requires a pretty fair amount of work and a few household tools (screwdriver, hammer, we used a level for the drawers to hang correctly). One of the four legs was damaged in transit, of course as luck would have it a front leg, but it can probably be corrected with a wood color correcting pen. All in all this dresser is very affordable for how large and high quality it looks, it isn't real wood but for something this size real wood would cost a fortune and this does the job. Nice product, good deal.
