I bought this, primarily for its flexible configuration options, and because of the limited amount of space, I had for a 'nightstand'. It was kind of frustrating to assemble (mostly my own 'handy' weakness) but instructions were clear and turned out perfectly for someone not used to building things.  It will be 2 years of use in Nov 2020 and I can honestly say that it's held up great with the weight of books, one on top of the other, and unusual configuration.  It not only gives me storage under-bed level but gives me plenty of 'night table' surface space, book and boardgame storage, and even a shelf on top that I use for seasonal pictures or decor.  Overall, amazing purchase and super functional!
