The packaging is crazy good and a pain to remove.  Then just screw in the stopper on the underside of the top shelf, screw in 6 handles, and good to go.  The color White is a creamy white, as compared to Dunn Edwards white.  I expect to add a dresser and bed to match these two night stands.  I love that the whole set is up off the floor, easy to keep dust from accumulating under the furniture.  Check measurements; these are a bit larger than most night stands.
