I'm no carpenter but I'm pretty good at building things. This, while easy to put together, can be a bit difficult to get your grounding, most the pieces look the same, with the holes arranged differently. It would have been nice if each part were labeled with a sticker.
The primary structure is made of 1/2 inch particle board, fairly sturdy. The drawers don't have slides or rails, they just grind along wood on wood. and the drawers themselves have a flimbsy basing along with the backing. They could probably only support about 10lbs, however the structure of the dresser supports the base of the drawers so the strain is only on it when its pulled out. Alternatively, if you must have items over 10 pounds in the drawer, you could not use the drawer and instead have the cubby the draw goes into as a storage area, its held up on the 1/2 inch particle board.
Over all for the price this is a good buy, I had to take a star for the flimsy basing on the drawers.
good by, poor drawer strength
