I’m getting used to the fact that furniture these days is not like it used to be. The back of this is unfinished so you could never have the back showing. It was fairly easy to put together. Pieces matched up pretty well but not perfect. The linen on the drawers was slightly “bubbled” in a spot on one. I initially bought 1 and didn’t love the quality so looked and looked for an alternative for the other side of my bed. After weeks I honestly could not find anything better for the price so I got another. They look very nice on either side of my linen RH bed frame. Overall I’d recommend them and I’m happy with them.
