This item was on back order for 10 months from April 2016 to Feb 2017. Finally back in stock and I ordered 2 of them. Assembly is slightly harder than your average IKEA piece, but not too difficult. It is surprisingly hard to find a 1 drawer nightstand with enclosed sides in this color. I did not want to compromise on the tapered front legs and brushed nickel hardware. This nightstand is real wood, no particle board. The back panel on one of my nightstands was severely warped, but I was able to make it work. Both nightstands arrived with minor dents in the drawer face from shipping. In spite of that, I am happy with the product.
