It was surprisingly easy to assemble! Overall, I really like it, epsecially for the price! The drawer slides easily and the storage nook is perfect for a basket. I bought it to complement a white bedroom set and although this nightstand is white, it is not bright white. I placed the nightstand on one side of the my bed and the existing white dresser on the other and when the two pieces are not side by side you cannot notice a colorbrightness difference. I even swaped the provided knob for a drawer pull that I got at Lowes to make the nightstand hardware match the drawer pulls on my existing dresser. Now it looks like it was always part of my  bedroom set.
