The dresser was relatively easy to put together. The instructions weren't very clear on some steps, but after a little trial and error I figured it out. It is a little un-sturdy on carpet but if i was super worried i could always use the wall anchors. This is an attractive dresser that fits in well to me bedroom that doesnt have an exact "look". I predict this dresser will last about 1 move and will then get replaced with something of higher quality. For now though it is perfect for the price I paid.
