It took a bit of work to assemble but once you get going, the instructions make sense, and it's nice and sturdy when you get it together! It's a deeper red than pictured - it's really very nice. The drawers slide in and out super smoothly and the stoppers prevent the drawers from coming all the way out of the dresser when you pull them open. It's a really good bargain in my opinion. I'm so glad I bought this!
