I was a bit hesitant to order this nightstand after reading a few negative reviews, however I am happy that I did. I didn't notice any damage to any of the pieces, and it was fairly straight forward to build. It took me about 2 hours to put together, but I'm sure it would be a lot faster for someone more experienced. It's just the right height and width, and is visually appealing. I don't have any negative comments about this nightstand, besides that the instructions could be a bit more clear in a few places. Other than that, it's great!
