I bought this nightstand (along with the dresser) for my son's room. I should warn you that they will chip if you look at them hard. I find that out the hard way, but luckily in a place where it can't be seen. If you handle them gently and assemble them on a soft surface, they're fine. The nightstand was not hard to assemble and the instructions were thorough and easy to follow. Once it was all together, I loved it. The gray finish is really attractive and it is a way of making a boy's room stylish without the usual boring furniture.
