Tough, Solid, and Slick - CAT APPROVED!
After others complaining "Difficult to assemble," "Directions not clear," "Cheap materials," well, I took the risk as Amazon is a very buyer-oriented place to buy (if you know what you are doing and how to complain)!
Having built other furniture kits before, I had to admit I really didn't need to follow the directions beyond which bolt/screw/nut goes where. This took around 3 hours with me (disabled, but not willing to let furniture beat me yet!) and my 15yo son.
The one con is the delivered glue, for the peg-in-socket joints. It is little cellophane package (pic included) and is an absolute mess to use and likely not much better from old Elmer's school glue. Our solution was Gorilla Glue's Wood Glue, which I always have on hand. This stuff sets HARD, so this dresser will not be being disassembled anytime. It may survive the apocalypse!
After assembly, and the final (and slightly tricky) screws that permanently mount the drawers to the caster assemblies, this looks sharp, and even got the cat's approval (pic included)! Take your time, have a free evening, a Philips screwdriver (manual or powered, your call), a hammer, and a bottle of good wood glue, and you'll have a solid piece of furniture that should last years.
