Packaged really well. Very easy to assemble... maybe took 20 minutes each and I did it by myself (well my almost 2 year old helped). The gray color is definitely more green, but i knew that from reviews. It’s also darker as you can see in my picture. I actually like it. Love the style, perfect height for my bed, very stable. There were a few blemishes, but hardly noticeable. There is a slight weathering on the edges/corners. Bottom draw is slightly off center/to the left on both nightstands I ordered, but opens and closes just fine.
