I loved my first one so much, that I ordered a second one! Incredibly roomy; beautiful; and with exceptionally smooth drawer glides. I now have one in the coffee bean finish on either side of the bed, serving as bedside storage for my makeshift bedwall. Once you take a step back and process the assembly instructions and the parts labeling, the chest is not at all difficult to assemble. I also appreciate how efficiently all hardware is pre-sorted and packaged. Time consuming, yes. Extraordinarily difficult, no. This second time around, only when attaching the braces linking the two side panels did I even call for a second pair of hands - just to speed things along. Be careful, however, when screwing in the plastic clips for the small glass panels...do not over tighten, so that nothing cracks. Make any adjustments in positioning the glass first, then finish tightening; same with the drawer pulls. The chest is amazingly solid and sturdy once assembled. Be aware that the base is not metal, it is spray painted MDF. If you think that might cheapen the overall look, it can actually be left off. Yes, the chest is MDF, with a thin veneer - but the veneer is one of the nicer ones I've seen. So much so, that my adult sons are eyeing them now for their own spaces. They agree that these lend a kind of upscale boutique hotel vibe to the room. I have to agree with reviewer who called it their best DIY furniture purchase ever. One (actually, two) of my best Overstock purchases to date.
