After buying plywood furniture that requires assembly, it's great to have solid wood assembled furniture. You do have to screw in the handles, but that's easy. I would have given 5 stars if it had two drawers instead of one huge space that makes organizing a challenge, and the cardboard backing. Otherwise, it's sturdy, and looks great. I also wished it was a little lower, so that its same level with the bed rather than pillow. I guess it's because my bed was on a divan rather than a bed frame.
