Well, it did take me about 2 to 2 1/4 hours to assemble. I expected for the assembly to be a nightmare. While it was not easy to assemble, it did not meet my expectations. I've dealt with tougher furniture to assemble and worse instructions.The package was heavy, and so is the organizing unit. That fooled me into thinking that it would be difficult to assemble alone. Two things made it easier and faster to assemble: (1) using an electric screwdriver, and (2) screwing the cam-dowels into the drawers before trying to assemble those sections of the drawers. I leaned the item against a stable piece of furniture to have another set of hands. I put one entire drawer together and tested it before assembling all of the drawers. That was a good idea, because I knew that I had put one together correctly before using the same method on all of them.As I said, it is a fairly heavy piece of furniture. That helps me to feel confident about it being relatively sturdy as long as I put it together correctly.I need it to store pastel paintings. Normally those are best stored laid flat. Some artists use a flat file for storage. Those are too expensive, and I am more of an amateur artist. Making the organizers in larger sizes would also make them more appealing to artists. The shelves are deep enough, just greater width and length would make these more appealing.
