    Felt invincible after assembling

    Every single review with a picture is boasting. Do not believe anyone who says this was easy to assemble. I assembled this dresser by myself with just a screwdriver and a hammer and it took me 7 hours. First of all, this thing comes in a heavy box that is filled with wooden planks. Absolutely nothing is pre-assembled, so you will have to fasten all the screws manually. The kicker: the wood planks do not have pre-drilled holes, so I had to use full force to squeeze drills into their respective un-drilled planks using a handheld Phillips head screwdriver. In retrospect, I should have used a power drill — the manual said not to, so I didnt. A bit about the wood — these panels are not made of solid wood. They are much thinner (approx. 2-in) strips that have been glued together and cleverly stained to look continuous from a distance. So, if you are screwing into a point where two planks meet using a screwdriver (dont), youll have to plunge your entire body weight into the tip of the screwdriver while twisting clockwise just to get the screw to catch. I would absolutely not recommend that you assemble this yourself unless you are incredibly patient and frankly masochistic. Two things I would have changed: get someone to help out, use power tools.
