Lets clarify.First off, I read all of the reviews before purchasing this. When I read the one star reviews I was sincerely concerned about buying this. Im a woman, Im pretty handy. I dont have an expertise level of skill but I can navigate directions and use a screwdriver or drill. OK, the directions CLEARLY STATE not to assemble standing up OR try to stand up BEFORE you put the back piece on otherwise it will collapse. now thats out of the way, you one star reviewers are not fair. This took long to put together because its actual decent material and of its sturdy construction it is just that. A STURDY PIECE OF FURNITURE. The doors are difficult to get to align properly if youre assembling alone, I recommend two people when you put the doors on. Other than that every other part you can do alone. I have moved this around in my room trying to figure where to place it and it is loaded with my husbands clothes, shoes, etc. its sturdy. Has not remotely shown signs of weakness, you have to know how tightly to secure screws. if you tighten screws too much you will cause breaks in the boards ie create areas of weakness. The directions are clear and concise, the materials came perfectly packaged and labeled(with exception of a couple boards) but its pretty easy to figure out. overall, this is a good buy, worth the price that I paid(152) and a great addition to my room. My husband loves it.
