This is a gorgeous dresser for the price. The package came with the box holding the drawers completely broken, which I'm guessing was due to FedEx's carelessness. Fortunately, the dresser wasn't damaged other than some small chips on the edges.

I got assembly with this dresser. True to some other comments about how complicated the assembly is, the pro wasn't able to finish the assembly within the two hour allotted block, so someone else had to come back to finish the job two days later. This was a bit frustrating.. so just keep this in mine if you decide to add on the assembly or consider hiring your local handyman instead.
