It is sturdy, does not require assembly, and it is a bigger night stand than I imagined for the price.  I would have given it a perfect score except you have to screw in the knobs but I could not find the right size screw for the little knob on the pull-out shelf.  They sent a replacement part but it was for the larger drawer knobs so it didn't fit. I paid a contractor to fix it for me since he was already working on a remodel at my home. I like the velvet lined top drawer too.
