This dresser is awesome! I was dead set on solid wood after having so many flimsy particle board dressers fall apart on me over the years, but really couldnt afford to spend thousands. It shipped packed flat, so assembly was fairly time consuming. My bf and I did it in about an hour. It was quite a bit of work but everything did fit together well, so none of it was particularly difficult or frustrating, and the final product is so beautiful. The drawers are also pretty big compared to other dressers Ive had. Absolutely loving this thing so far, and it looks like itll hold up really well over time.
