You will need to put this together but the only tool required is a philips screwdriver.  I've never seen such clear directions (all in English) with diagrams and all parts labeled.  They even provide one extra piece in each little bag of screws and things needed to put it together.  I'm a 65 year old grandmother and had no trouble assembling it.

The nightstand is fairly small but with the pull out 'shelf' for a drink or coffee, you get maximum use of that small space.
