Love the nightstand.. a little bigger than anticipated but my fault for not measuring at all. The directions have words and images and were for the most part easy to understand. Still a little overwhelming with the amount of parts and screws that go into it. Took me longer than the "expected time" to put together but that may be because I am not used to using tools. I used a drill because it was all I had, which was faster once I got the hang of it. The reason I give it a 3 star rating is because the wood had a hole in the back part of the top piece. Hidden by the wall so it's fine but still you can tell the quality of the wood is not the best. It is starting to split on the bottom drawer in the front already (could be from me putting it together but definitely not as durable as I would have liked/ expected) Overall satisfied with it.
