Ok, first off, the piece is great once it's put together. The quality is fine, it feels solid and sturdy. Overall, I'm happy with the nightstands. The reason my rating is so low is because of environmental concerns and ease of assembly. First, assembly, it was a little difficult to setup, and I was certainly thinking about the other nightstands I was considering purchasing where reviewers said assembly couldn't be any easier. 

My BIG ISSUE with this item is the packaging. The styrofoam was literally wrapped in plastic. From an environmental perspective this just isn't sustainable, it's awful the for the environment, and extraordinarily wasteful.
