Received this item and it was pretty easy to put together. The dresser just needs the feet screwed in and the mirror attached, the nightstand just needed the feet. The bed needed a bit more installation, when it was finished one drawer was noticeably "higher" under the slats by almost 1/4" which made it catch on the slats when opening and closing. I ended up shipping the slats up a bit so the drawer would clear. The finish is really lovely, perhaps a bit darker than the pictures show. Quality of construction is probably average as to what you find these days. They don't make furniture as an heirloom item anymore ! But I am pleased with the set, it really does look quite nice.
