Fit and finish is decent, I ordered two of these and several pieces arrived with cosmetic damage. thankfully most of it was facing inwards, so it's not visible from the outside. Regardless, sloppy packaging and/or QA on these but they do the job. They are quick to assemble, from start to finish (unpacking, assembling, cleanup) was 30 minutes per nighstand. Might take you longer if you're new to assembling furniture.
