Difficult to put together but its a gorgeous piece!
This took me forever to put together. Im just a small person and it had me sweating. The packaging was terrible. There was Styrofoam all over the pieces. Its almost impossible to get it off everything. I was scared the boards would be damaged but I guess I was fortunate, nothing was broken or chipped. All pieces were there, which I made sure were all included before I even started. It really took me a long time to put it together and the instructions can be confusing. At one point I accidently drilled one of the slides into the wrong hole and had a drawer not wanting to close. Once I figured out the holes didnt match up, I redid it and it ended up fine. I just wish some of it wouldve come already assembled because it was a pain in the backside to put it together by myself.
On the positive side, I love how it turned out! Its taller than I thought but it has 7 lovely drawers and looks sleek and is sturdy. I love that it has because its quite heavy to move without them. The predrilled holes helped so much to find where things needed to go and kept the particle board from splitting. It includes a wall anchor to prevent tipping but theres no predrilled hole on the unit to attach it. I had to pre drill my own. But that was easy enough. The drawers slide easily and are straight. With a lot of patience and going slowly to make sure youre working on the right parts does wonders for the end result is totally worth it! I want to get another one in the future but I will make my husband put it together. This one wore me out. One of my best buys.
