These are exactly what i expected for the price. Didn’t take long for me to assemble by myself, however, I was only able to do it by myself because I have assembled lots of furniture in the past. There are pictures for the directions but they don’t list the in-between steps (I.e turn this here, put that there). Also, the delivery company left them at the bottom of my 3 story staircase. Wasn’t expecting that… but these are perfect for my short term apartment and will be easy to find a space to use them in my newly constructed home when it’s done!
