Cheap, cheap, cheap!

Looks much nicer in the photos than in real life. The handle is PLASTIC (not metal), and the entire unit is made of particle board (the same material IKEA uses in it's products). While this sort of material can still look nice, the unit itself does not assemble (or hold) together as nicely as it could. AND BUYER BEWARE - this is NOT an easy assembly piece!!! I am well versed in furniture assembly, and quite handy, but it took me three hours to assemble this nightstand because the directions were nearly impossible to understand.

I expected a little higher quality for the price I paid (I definitely wouldn't have spent $80 on something of this quality), however it does look very nice in my apartment. Just don't get up too close to it.
