Really satisfying project in all ways
Very well engineered. Instructions are minimal and sufficient; extra attention is noted where necessary. I took my time in constructing this and enjoyed the process. I found installing the castors a bit troublesome until I drilled VERY small pilot holes at the places marked for the screws. The runners for the drawers also benefited from pilot holes (though partial installation of the screws without the runner, then removal of the screws, and normal installation of the runners was sufficient here). The product includes some extra hardware and added bits to strengthen the cabinet construction. Again, well designed. Well, worth the cost! (Consider, I am a 75 yo nun and assembled this myself working in a leisurely way during one afternoon! I think most anyone could enjoy this project and be happy with the finished product!)

Decent enough, but not for the faint hearted
Pros:- A well thought out instruction manual, with extra screws etc.- Sturdy enough for the price.- Looks good- Wheels are fluid and roll well- True to the advertised sizeCons:- Even as an experienced woodworker with the correct electric tools, this took around two hours to put together. There are things that could be done at the production level to cut this time easily by 75%.- Although the instructions are easy, there are A LOT of them, which could be intimidating to some folks.- The drawers are not on rails, and for the price, there is really no reason why not. This means the operation is a little clunky. Though it works, it's by no means smooth.- Although well constructed, the parts are still cheep, thin chipboard with plastic runners. It feels sturdy, but this may or may not last depending on the use case.Quirks and obaervations:- As per the photographs, if you're not paying attention you can easily pop a drawer back in "out of sync" with the others. It does nothing to hurt the operation of the drawer itself, but aesthetically this may be annoying to some people.- Packing materials consist of A LOT of high static plastic and polystyrene (styrofoam). Not only are the tiny white bits incredibly annoying and difficult to get rid of, it's 2023; companies need to do better with environmental issues when cardboard and paper offer a cost effective and biodegradable alternative.Conclusion:After loading it up with everything I needed to, this is a definitely space saver for those small nick-nacks that home office's have, or hobby spaces accumulate. It's done the trick for what I needed and for the price it's definitely acceptable, but it would not be at home in a heavy use environment.

Poor build quality and assembly
I'm pretty good at building furniture and this was a headache. Hard to explain, but most of the screws lack any holes so you need to push really really hard to get them in. Even with an impact-driving electric drill it took forever. Also, noticed that once assembled the drawers do not line up perfectly straight. It looks sloppy.

Easy to Assemble, decent instructions and above standard quallity.
Actually, this 5-Drawer Set is a pretty good bargain for the money. I found it better than the average portable drawer set and much better looking. The wood drawing facing and the dark contrasting top and side panels make for an attractive piece of office furniture. It was reasonably easy to assemble, directions were just fine and easy to understand & follow. I did use wood glue when I utilized the "wood pegs" to secure the top and sides. The quarter screw caps used to secure the sides and top are not the best as you really must be careful not to over-torque or tighten them. In fact, as soon as I set these screws and had them secure, I added "super glue" to each one as an added measure to ensure a satisfactory "lock". Overall, I'd recommend this unit and found it to be a value worth the money. Larry"O"

China's "brands" are horrid to begin with but this one takes the cake!
These "brands", with the same product with many random spellings are absolutely terrible! Amazon; get back to your business model. This thing is comical and irritating at best. Design is ok. Enginering, quality, and execution is well... I can't say bad and horrid words here. Even the instructions are in the wrong logical order. I am glad they give extra hardware because you will need it. The acarid smell of formaldehyde and other chemicals is overwhelming. Thin and poor fitting particle board is yet another problem. If you value your health, safety, and quality do not buy this product. Even the Styrofoam packing is an absolute mess.

Cheap quality and poorly made
Really cheap quality stuff. After only a year of very light use, the drawer guides have come apart. The shelf bolts keep falling off as well. Wheel locks have failed as well. Avoid this product at all costs.
