The directions were pretty easy to follow for assembly, but the wood was rough where it wasn't finished or there wasn't any type of clear coat put on.   The drawers are hard to pull out, the track is made too narrow which stops the drawer from pulling out easily.  It's alot shorter than we thought it was going to be.  Actually, comes to just above my knee.   Definitely would not have purchased this one if we'd seen it in the store.
