The colour is very nice. While assembling the drawer I tightened the cam lock screw somewhat tight and the face of the drawer veneer lifted. That was extremely disappointing as it is basically impossible to repair. Aside from that, the instructions were the best I ever encountered. The night stand itself is wonderful. I am very happy with the quality for the price. I am looking forward to purchasing the chest of drawers, but will be mindful to not lift the veneer of the drawer face again.
