First I will say, this is a really nice looking piece of furniture. The wood is a nice finish and solid. 
However.....it is a total disaster to put together. There are hundreds of wooden pegs that must be glued into holes. Additionally, there are hundreds of screws that must be screwed into the furniture, but many parts are not pre-drilled! So, even though the directions say not to use a drill, there is literally no way to assemble this without one. I've honestly never experienced buying a piece of furniture that requires this much assembly. I could have made this nightstand from scratch faster than assembling this one. It took about 4 hours with two people, and we are experienced with assembling furniture, using tools, woodwork, etc. If you buy this, definitely pay for the expert assembly, or....buy something else!
