The quality was much better than expected for the price. Definitely organize all the pieces before putting this together. You'll need a screwdriver. An electric screwdriver sped up the process for me. Make sure you pay attention to the illustrations at the bottom of the pages, they should really be at the top. Don't forget to use glue with the dowels, it's easier to apply a big drop in the holes first. The process took me 2.5 hours by myself. The drawers ended up a little wobbly because of the way the rails screw in, but overall, it's a great functional piece.
