In real life the drawers don't line up nearly as perfectly as in the picture. In my case the two middle drawers are closer to the bottom drawers than the top.  makes the whole thing look a little off kilter.  Also the base wasn't pre-drilled.  At first I thought I was reading the instructions wrong; however I finally realized one of the boards was painted on in inside rather than outside and an entire set of guide holes for screws was missing.  Still, it is a nice functional little dresser.
