I absolutely love this dresser. My husband and I were looking for something large enough to fit both of our clothes, but that didn't look antiquated or too large for our condo bedroom space. After looking around, this was by far the best piece I found and we couldn't beat the price which at the time was $*** on sale; however, this piece would easily go for $1000+ at many furniture stores. We were a bit worried about the assembly part of it after seeing the reviews, but went for it and couldn't be happier. Assembly did take my husband nearly 6 hours and he's really into that kind of thing. It's not difficult, but just a cumbersome process, especially when it comes time to put together the NINE drawers. The finished product is well worth it. I can't emphasize enough how nice it looks and how great the quality is. I did line the drawers after reading previous reviews to prevent staining - it is a very dark wood, so definitely take the extra time to do that!
