The nightstand looks nice when assembled, however the assembly is not for amateurs. The directions at first appeared simple--written in English with what I thought were clear illustrations. However they were not proofread. There are a few steps out of order (9 should precede 5) and parts mis-numbered or mis-attributed. Illustrations don't always clearly indicate which side should be up and then later in the process, it turns out that it matters. Fortunately, I ordered two, and the second one should be easier, as I've worked out the kinks and traps. Also, I was a screw short. I never mind receiving extra parts--but it is really annoying to have to dip into my own tool box in the middle of a project to peck around for a screw that will fit. Overall, I'm happy with the result, but beware--you'll need some time to put at least the first one together.
