This is my second piece of furniture from this company that I am putting together (I ordered the side table and dresser). When you open the box, do not be intimidated by over 70 screws and pieces! The directions are clear and simple, and I put this together in under an hour. The directions say do not use a drill. The wood is so soft that yes, you can press the screws through the wood with only your arm strength, and I was able to do this despite weak grip strength and carpal tunnel. However, that's a whole lot of screws, so I gave up and used a drill, but again, the wood is soft, so be very careful not to split the wood or warp the boards with the drill's power. Also be careful to make sure things are lined up before pressing the screw through.
Unfortunately, I received a wrong piece (5 right side drawer planks and 3 left, instead of 4 and 4), but since the wood is so soft, I was able to drill through it without the guide holes and complete the dresser.
It looks just like the picture, but it's just not quality wood. I don't imagine it will hold up, but time will tell. You have to make sure to pull both knobs at the same time for the drawers to slide well. The drawers are not very deep. It really looks fine, and it's exactly like the picture, but the wood seems fragile.
Someone else said this dresser doesn't have drawer stops, but it does, if you choose to install them. It also comes with a strap to anchor it to the wall of you'd like.
