Very nice and sturdy, be careful of the instructions
I like this a lot, and it s very sturdy. It took almost 2 hours to assemble, but I kind of like that, as it feels better put together than something that might only take 10 mins. I sat on it (~ 235 lbs) and it felt rock solid. It does require some hammering and a lot of hand tightening, so keep that in mind. You only need a philips screw driver and hammer.
Everything looks nice, with no gaps, and the drawers slide super well. The bottoms of the drawers feel pretty sturdy. It s also rather large in width, which I wanted.
My one complaint is that the instructions could have a few small notes added to help. There are screws used to attach the top to the sides, and then similar screws used to attach the front of the drawers. These screws are different lengths, and color coded, but the instructions only mention the color in the steps about the drawers, not the top, which comes first. Similarly, the parts those screws attach to are slightly different sizes, and again the instructions only mention this in the drawers section. I also nailed the backing on the wrong side facing in (which was dumb of me, but the instructions could have a small note).
Without those hiccups I could have had it assembled in about an hour. That being said, it s not enough to deduct a star for.
