I have the matching dresser and decided to get the nightstand for the sake of uniformity in my small bedroom. It's a little big bigger than I would have liked it to be. I bought it knowing that. Plenty of drawer space and surface space. But like the matching dresser, it has a white residue that's quite unattractive. Not sure what it is, I've had it cleaned. As for the assembly, I hired a professional and it didn't take him too long.
