It took me several hours to assemble it perhaps because I don't have much practice doing such things.  I have only used it for a  couple of days so I don't know how long it will hold out.  But it is the perfect small size for my kitchen and a nice wide drawer.  I have put a couple of table top organizers on it to file letters and bills, stamps, envelopes etc etc.
Keep some nail polish remover handy when you assemble it because the drawer hardware is liberally greased.
