The Bottom Line This is a nice-looking, remarkably sturdy piece of furniture that is a good value when on sale. Assembly is fairly unpleasant. The Good This is an attractive piece of furniture. That's subjective, but it looks good and like it does in the pictures. This is quite sturdy for a piece of flat-pack furniture. It doesn't wobble and feels solid. It is more than up to the task of holding a TV set or a row of books. The fit and finish is very good. It's tight, everything lines up and it's level without shimming. Drawers glide smoothly and nothing slides out (or in) on its own. All of the hardware is correctly sized. Unless you go wild with power tools, nothing is going to punch through or crack. At list price, it's a mediocre value but on sale it's definitely worth the money. The assembly instructions are, for the most part, acceptable The assembly and design are well thought-out, and it remains stable during assembly. It won't wobble or try to collapse as you're putting together the major components, which is a fairly rare thing. There was extra hardware. They include a couple of spares for most of the hardware, which is awesome for when you inevitably drop something and it rolls away. The Indifferent These have no drawer pulls (which is by design), but there are also no cut-outs for fingers on the drawer fronts. The drawers are very smooth and glide easily, but the drawer edges will probably get pretty grubby with use. The Bad Assembly is extremely tedious. Anything with eight drawers is going to be tedious, but there are a staggering number of parts. This probably relates to its sturdiness and is worth it, but assembly was not fun. The estimate of "two people in 40 minutes" is laughable. I was alone, but I have a lot of experience with flat-pack furniture and it took me well over two hours and I used power tools. The instructions, while acceptable, could use a better overall level of detail. You have to pay very close attention to how every part is oriented by comparing notches and similar artifacts in the illustration with the actual part. The instructions absolutely work, but require a lot of care and things like part orientation could have been clearer. The Ugly There is one instruction that is simply wrong. It calls for using the rear-side braces during frame assembly. They printed the wrong letter on the diagram and it was very confusing. It was also clearly wrong and jumping ahead in the instructions to find the actual reference to that part made it clear, but that kind of basic error is unacceptable
