As I usually do, I read as many of these ratings and what other customers comment on the products I purchase to give me some sort of awareness of what might be in store for me to assemble and see when the product is completed. I've been an active shopper with "Overstock" for a few years and just recently joined as a Club "O" Member to save additional dollars on items purchased and shipping. So far to date and even when I've read in some reviews that the assebly process was difficult or that some parts are missing, I have not had the unfortunate of those happening to me. This product was put together with my nephew and myself in about 1 1/2 hours with really no difficulty at all. We both are mechanically inclined and even though some instructions aren't as clear at times, if you look at the overall scheme of things being put together, you can get a good feel for how they work and should fit. Best things to do it not rush and be careful in applying what is instructed at all times and the end results should be fine. To date, I'm very happy with this purchase and the cost. I wasn't and still not sure what Rubber Wood is, but its finish looks great!!! Good Luck to all who venture into this same dresser.
