Assembly wasnt bad, I didnt put the on (because carpet). Really like the color, wish it was a little sturdier but its pretty good for the price. They put these little white blocks that are ment to help hold the back panels in but I used them as extra support for the drawer bottoms and I highly recommend doing that. its most likely going to be up against a wall anyway so the back panels should be safe.
The product is exactly as described and is extremely sturdy and heavy. The directions were very confusing though and had about 1,000 parts to it. Some of the numbers had entirely rubbed off the label which made it even more difficult to put together. Overall though, with determination, it didnt take too long. I would suggest clearing up how to install the sliders on the filing cabinet part though; my husband and I ended up drilling entirely new holes before figuring out we could take the slider apart.
The box was a bit beaten up when I received it but the packing is good and there was no damage. The item took about two hours to assemble - my advice is to make sure you line up the draw runners correctly for the large drawer because its easy to make a mistake and then the drawer wont close ! Its perfect for what I bought it for - a printer stand, a small filing cabinet to store hanging files - and some storage for paper.
I bought this as a storage unit for my moms medical supplies because she broke her leg and was bed-bound for a while. I wanted something that would be attractive and useful for other purposes when we no longer need it for medical supplies. This fit the bill. Its on so its easy-ish to move (still takes a bit of effort so I probably wont move it too much).
Assembly was easier than expected. I was dreading it, but instructions were crystal clear and it only took a few hours.
The reason I didnt give this 5 stars is that the box came damaged which caused damage to one of the pieces. It would have been way too much effort to send the whole package back, so I kept it. Thankfully the damage was on the bottom so you wouldnt know its there. All in all definitely a decent, sturdy piece.
Despite what it says in the instructions, one person can put this together quite easily, but with some patience. The only issue Ive had is getting the sliding drawer onto its sliders which is proving quite a challenge. Otherwise, its a great piece of office furniture.
Looks exactly as pictured, except that even though I had the measurements ahead of ordering, it looks small to me once assembled. Assembly was clear, all pieces included, no problems putting it together. Strong enough to be filled with office supplies and the printer on top, and my water bottle and purse.
I’m a middle school special education teacher if students with behavior challenges. I needed a little storage space for next to my desk and got this.
It arrived on time and with all the pieces needed with some extras to spare.
I decided to let my students put this together with me as a “read for information” activity.
They loved the idea of it, but quickly wore out because the instructions are not great. Something was lost in the translation of them, so they put the major pieces together and I finished the drawers.
My put stuff together skills are decent but not great, and the rail slider things on the drawers took several tries. For the file drawer, the holes are not pre-drilled in the proper location, resulting in a drawer that won’t fully close until I can get some help from the maintenance guys or my husband.
Overall, it’s a nice looking piece of furniture given the cost and will suit my needs.

Wasn’t to easy to install
Recommend more than one person to install.
Just as advertised; cute and functional.
My printer is on the bottom shelf. Laptop sits on top. I paid for professional installation. I watched him and it looked pretty complicated!!
Like it so far

Made of press wood
Not bad for the price. The instructions could have been printed a lot better, especially when it comes to the drawer rails.
Sturdy, heavy-duty, pain in the neck
