Assembly is fairly simple if you read the directions carefully first! Because I have the matching dresser, I decided to use Titebond premium wood glue on every single screw, rail and boards assembling the chest. (I didnt assemble dresser but I know how the drawers have come apart) The only problem I had is one of the zinc fasteners did not fit quite right and when I tightened it a big bubble came in the side of chest! I was pissed but I got it repaired and you cant tell it was messed up. When it is done, it is quite sturdy. The drawers open and close smoothly. Mine had metal drawer rails
Happy with my purchase
