Item came flat packed but very straight forward to put together. The drawers are made of cloth and also come flat packed but open out easily with a cardboard base you insert into the bottom. They rest on metal supports and can be taken out completely when needed. It took me about 45 minutes to put it all together probably can be done quicker but as it was only slightly smaller than the cupboard it had to built it in place. Its good quality for the price and the drawers are large and nice and deep. It seems sturdy and stable. I would recommend this product
