Assembly took FOREVER (granted I needed help from a friend, two bottles of wine, and a power drill that I became more confident with the more I drank), but the piece looks beautiful. Be careful if you do use a power drill because a part of the wood ended up cracking for me. Looks great in my NYC apartment. Doesn't hold as much clothing as my old Ikea MALM dresser but that's okay because I needed to get rid of clothing anyway. Giving it four stars because the drawers can get stuck sometimes when trying to close them but with a little force, they close all the way. I would still recommend as long as you have a friend who is competent enough to build furniture (I am not that friend).
