I guess you do get what you pay for. The nightstand was delivered when expected, and was ready to go out of the box. However, there's a notch in the wood below the pull out writing stand, that was very poorly patched. Also, the very bottom level (under the basket) is open, so the basket doesn't slide in or out very smoothly (it tries to fall through the opening). I've used it to store some things I won't need very often. Otherwise, I'm happy with it - it's a nice color and seems sturdy enough.
