Shipping took a couple of days and I was very pleased as well as surprised that both nightstands came in 1 small box. First I was afraid I had read it wrong and that it wasn’t a set, but yes both nightstands were in the box. It took my husband and myself about 30 minutes to put together both working on 1. It is pretty simple although some of the screws were either bend or had no tread on the head. Small problem that was easily fixed by replacing some of the screws. The one thing that I did notice is that the color is more a dark teal than dark blue. All with all both my boys love their new nightstand.
