I ordered two of these as end tables for my husband's ManCave where extra storage was needed.  I assembled them easily myself.  All the holes lined up nicely, and were just nice pilot holes, not too big.  These are handsome pieces, and sturdy... they do not look like assemble it yourself furniture.  They do look larger than in the picture, and the color is slightly redder than the picture.  I'm really pleased.  Also, happy about the free two-day shipping, they arrived in good shape.
