Fantastic value for cost
By V Layne
This is one swank looking piece when assembled. It looks like a piece in the $600-$1000 range -- just so long as you don't open the drawers. The give away that it's merely a fine veneer over cheap pine is that the screw-holes in the sides of the drawers are screamingly obvious.Assembly of this piece is required: it involves the driving of 89 screws. I highly recommend using a power screwdriver for this project; I didn't, and it took a friend and I 2 hrs to drive all the screws by hand (and I have the blisters today to prove it.) Additionally, you have to set an equivalent number of pegs; this is not that hard, but a hammer helps immensely (you'll need a hammer to drive some nails, too). The combination of pegged construction and wood screws results in an extremely sturdy unit. Unlike a lot of assemble-it-yourself furniture, this unit, when you've got it together, is real furniture: absolutely solid and never coming apart again, except by means of an axe.The drawer pulls are wooden rails; for wooden rails, they fit very well and the drawers pull as easily as one would expect without hardwear. The bottom of the drawers and the back of the unit are some sort of press board. The un-veneered surfaces are pine which has been stained to match; the veneer is wonderfully lustrous.The number of screws and pegs included in the kit is exactly the number necessary. There are NO spares. Do not drop and lose any.The instructions are reasonably clear. The packaging is phenomenal. The entire box was lined with styrofoam and plywood to make sure if something poked into the box, it wouldn't hurt the veneer. Sheets of foam protect the veneer surfaces from one another. The compartmentalized labeled pouch for the fittings was great.The instructions said it would take about 30 minutes to put together. It took me and another person an industrious 2.5 hrs to uncrate and assemble this beast -- that was putting in the screws by hand. A power screwdriver will make that go a lot faster.

Super Shopper
By R. Hawkins
First. the other reviews were not kidding about the screws. I have two to put togeather. I did the first by hand yesterday. Tonight...I will be using my power drill. Just to give you an idea, there are 7 drawers. Each drawer has 6 or 7 drill holes. That's 42 screws with just the drawers done! The cabnet has about 16 pre drilled holes. Thats 58 and counting! The top of the chest has 4 holes and you also need to put on the knobs,one each, another 7. That's a whopping 69 screw and there may still be some I'm forgetting to mention.If you really want this piece and it is very pretty, do yourself a favor...buy, borrow or beg for a power drill. Your arms and hands will thank you.

Good looking
By Yvonne
This looks like a decent piece of furniture for a put it together yourself job. Nice color. Draw stops. Fairly easy to assemble, just time consuming.
