I was excited about this dresser since it was one of the few I could find that were solid wood. The last page of my assembly instructions were missing and in general the instructions were vague causing a few mistakes/mishaps along the way. Overall it took me 5 hours to assemble on my own. The drawers do not have metal rollers and simply slide out on wood beams- so pulling them open is not very smooth. I really like how it looks on the outside though!
