I bought this as a bedside table between 2 twin beds.  It's perfect for that!  Assembly was a bit time consuming - but by following the instructions I was able to assemble it with no real problems.  The instructions were a bit confusing at a few points.  It is not hardwood - it's compressed wood.  This makes it heavier and not as long-lasting as hard wood.  All in all, it's a good product.  No regrets.

Pros: Exactly as pictured, Looks good, Classic look
Cons: A bit difficult/confusing to assemble, compressed wood
