I followed the simple instructions. When I got towards the end and was assembling the part that attaches to the top and would be the top frame of the drawer, the screws were a bit too long and caused some warping of the top of the nightstand and a crack in the front of the nightstand. I used only a handheld Phillips screwdriver. Once the entire piece was assembled, and I put the drawer in, I noticed that it does not glide easily and is a difficult drawer to maneuver. This is for my young daughters room, so she will probably not be able to access this drawer, as it is too hard for her to open. 

Otherwise, the construction and design for being made of particle board, is sturdy and I appreciate that. It just is upsetting that we have a product that already has flaws and we spent a good amount of money on it.
