The directions on this dresser were horrible. Most of the parts were not really labeled so I started there. I would recommend putting the drawer slats in last instead of like the second step. Just because I had to redo most of them due to the drawers being too difficult to slide. Other than that its a solid peice of furniture. Not real wood but it works perfectly for my Teen. The drawers are fairly deep and long and he put his playstation 36inch tv and stereo on top of it. Its a lot more sturdy than what I though it might be from other reviews. You can not beat the price. The same dresser was almost twice as much in a local "bargain" store.
