This is a great dresser for the price point. It is exactly as advertised. My unit did not have any damage or blemishes. This is not a hardwood dresser, be careful and go slow while driving in the screws and you will have no problems with the screws stripping out. I recommend using wood glue at every joint and connection. This will create a much stronger and stiffer final product as opposed to just relying on the screws.
