The assembly was horrid. Might as well buy your own wood and make your own nightstand. What do they think, I’m a carpenter? Do I have to saw wood as well? Anyway, pay the extra money for assembly. Cheap looking wood but will do for now. It’s just okay and will do. That’s all I can really say. Also the drawers don’t open and close easily. Besides that it LOOKS nice and modern. Just pay for assembly if you buy this item.
