This is the most difficult piece of furniture I've ever had to put together.  You need multiple tools, including a drill and hammer.  There were several pieces that didn't have starter holes for the screws, so I just had to wing it.  The drawer pieces did not measure out well and were missing holes, so it doesn't open/close well.  This piece sits in my guest room, so the drawer doesn't need to function much.  It looks just like the picture and is really cute.  But you better reaaaaallly like what the picture looks like to put all the effort into assembly....
