As with other reviewers, this dresser was a beast to put together. Admittedly, I'm not the most adept at constructing things, so it took me an entire day to get this piece together (at least 6 hours). The effort was absolutely worth it, as it really is a standout in my bedroom. Admittedly, I planned and decorated our bedroom around this piece, so I was absolutely determined to get it together and in place. I would not recommend attempting this piece without a power screwdriver.
