This dresser took my husband and I about 20 hours in total to build over the span of a couple weeks. We have assembled plenty of Ikea type furniture and let me tell you, the directions on how to assemble this were the worst we've ever encountered. That is not the worst part. We've had the dresser about 4 months now and the face of the top left drawer has already completely broken off and the drawer completely fell apart. Such a waste of money and time. Materials are made of particle board and flimsy laminate.
