I purchase this about a year ago...it was difficult to put together. I finally gave up and hired someone to complete the assembly for me: even the guy I had, who has experience putting furniture together, thought the assembly, because of the many pieces, was time consuming and tiresome. The doors and drawers don't line up, and considering that I put in the key words "WOODEN SHOE CABINET" when I did my search, and I received laminated particle board, in ,my packages, I feel that while the quality was not great, the price was OK for the item--one of my drawers in the package arrived broken, and I just requested a replacemnet draw, emphasizing that I don't want a new cabinet, because it is too difficult to put together,
