First one was a pain to assemble. The dowel holes did not line up very well and took a great deal of finessing to put together. Some minor knicks in the wood on one of them. The 2nd one was far easier to assemble and in better condition...no blemishes. They're simple and just the right height for our bed. I was hoping the caramel color would be closer to my teak dresser but, these are definitely a brighter orange hue but still very nice.
