This night stand is incredibly easy to put together, I managed this in less than 30 minutes. The color is exactly as shown on the website. It is on the smaller side, good for apartments, and fits very well in my small office. This style is definitely less is more but once it's put together it is quite workable. The modern look of this desk is very nice. The storage is great and all in all I'm happy. It is a steal for the price and I recommend.
