This chest is made of real wood, not pressed. There was only one problem where I had to drill a hole because the hole was made on the incorrect side. other than that, it was not that difficult to assemble. I did it by myself and I am a bit mechanically challenged. I wanted to use it as a divider however even though the back panels are wood (not cardboard), the metal brackets used to keep all of the pieces together aren't all that pretty. So my solution to that is to buy another chest and build it the opposite way so they will go back to back. I am fairly fussy about how my house looks and this is a really nice addition. I don't think you will be disappointed. Oh and this company ships really fast. What a pleasure.

The tansu chest looks beautiful, and I'm very happy with it. The mixed feelings come about because I had no idea it would be 'flat-pack', in so many pieces and so complex to put together; I couldn't have done it alone. The details on the website stated 'some assembly required'. I asked a carpenter friend to help, and it took us about 3 hours. We had to backtrack several times as the instructions didn't warn of any pitfalls; most of the info. was line drawings, with no written explanation. On the plus side, the holes were pre-drilled and lined up properly, which isn't always true of flat-pack furniture. In short, I would only recommend it to someone who likes & is good at that kind of task of putting complicated things together.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have seen the picture of the Reversible Tansu Step Chest for years, and finally had the perfect place for it in my house. It was a bit scary when I received it because of all of the pieces, but the instructions were wonderful and any mistakes were purely of my misreading them. The final product is outstanding, study, attractive and just like the picture. I love it!
