I needed a taller bedside table and this fit the bill! It arrived quickly and was nicely packaged. It only weighed about 36lbs. When you unpack it, don't let all the pieces and hardware discourage you! It actually wasn't bad to put together. There are no written instructions, just pictures but I found them easy to decipher. You must carefully look at the pictures though to make sure you have everything facing the right way and that you're using the correct hardware. It's easy to put together, just a little time consuming. I did it by myself without any issues. It is a nice, sturdy little stand. I will eventually stain it to match the rest of my bedroom furniture.
