This is a pretty looking dresser from afar and it was fairly easy to assemble. The directions don’t have words so you really have to pay attention to the picture. The drawers were confusing at the end because they don’t all fit perfectly unless you maneuver them to the right spot. I ended up with a weird gap at the bottom of mine. The drawers fit flimsily in the structure and the bottom wouldn’t support a lot of weight. The wood was easy to scratch and chip but it’ll work fine for my needs with no pets or small children. Fairly sturdy and it has an attachment to attach to the wall for added safety. Wouldn’t buy again for the price but I like it enough to not return.This was a long assembly. It is ok. The material is very easy to scratch, stain, chip and break. The drawers a very shallow. I suggest putting it together and be very careful with placing things on it and how we walk near it. Other than that, it may last a while.Looks great and good quality but it does take a long time to assembleMy husband and I bought 2 of these for nightstand/dresser. The assembly is fairly easy if you've done these kind of projects before. There are a lot of pieces to screw into but makes these very sturdy. I was pleasantly surprised how much I could store in it! Although I was hoping to store some taller books on the shelf part I can still fit a lot of the shorter/medium hight books. My husband is able to store most of his clothes which are a bit heavier like jeans type of stuff. These did take a few hours to assemble. We took 2 days to do 2 stands. They look very nice but are very heavy once assembled. I would suggest someone help you move it to where you want it once assembled. Overall very happy with this purchase!Pay attention which direction the parts without wood laminant go, this isn't mentioned in the directions. Not too hard to assemble. Shelves are fairly sturdy, I've gotten a different assembly piece that could not hold any weight. This can hold nothing super heavy but does work. I'm pleased with it. I would recommend.After reading the mix reviews I was hesitant to buy the dresser. I took the risk & with the help of my 1 year old son we got the job done ! I suck at putting stuff together and I didn’t want to pay someone so I did it myself . As I unboxed I was scared , I knew if I messed up I’d have to box it back up and haul it to my nearest post office & whewwww that would have been a hassle ! Anyways yes this is a must buy !!! I’m so happy with this dresser & the instructions was easy as hell, this dresser is sturdy my so. Was stepping all over the pieces as they were laid out on the floor. There were times the screw driver would slip on the wood & nothing chipped at all ! Y’all better go buy this dresser !!!!Very nice!I love the dresser and the Aesthetic of it but you can’t fit too much in the drawers. Directions were tricky at first, you just really have to pay attention to the pictures. It doesn’t have words on the manual.
