Initally I was worried because the dresser came in a small and very heavy box, and upon opening the dresser it appeared even more confusing. There were many different parts and the directions were unclear. It took a friend and I about 3 hours to assemble it and still it doesn't seem overly sturdy, at least for moving it. Overall it looks great and gets the job done functionally, but needs much work in the assembly process. Good for a first dresser purchase.
