You get what you pay for
The directions are very easy to follow. It does not include wood glue, but it holds together fine without it. The particle board was a little damaged from shipping, but that's UPS' fault, not the manufacturer; and shipping was free. The rails for the drawers are made out of plastic, and so are the drawer hardware knobs. Had they been made out of metal, the quality would've been better but the price would've been more expensive; therefore, you get what you pay for. The size is perfect for what I need it for. It is made out of particle board, but sturdy enough to last me until I feel like moving into a different house. I was very pleased with my purchase. I also bought the matching dresser.
