First of all, this nightstand arrived in style! It comes almost fully assembled, and inside a crated box! It was so well packaged, that I think it took longer to unbox and unwrap it, than it did to complete the assembly.  Speaking of which, all that’s involved assembly is just securing the metal legs to the base unit. Took maybe 5 minutes.  This is a heavy piece all together, and appears that it should hold up real well.  I like the wood grain of the finish and it’s contemporary style.  My only complaint is that the drawers only open half way.  It makes it difficult to store certain bulkier items.  This wouldn’t keep me from buying another for the other side of the room however, it’s just annoying.
