If you are good at putting things together, you shouldn’t have any trouble assembling this nightstand. Like most budget-friendly furniture these days, the assembly instructions are only visual (no words) so they don’t have to print it in numerous languages to accommodate various countries.  The picture instructions are not hard to follow if you pay attention to detail and take your time. Took me less than an hour to put together using just a Phillips screwdriver and my cordless drill.  It is NOT made of high quality materials (not real wood), but it is sturdy and looks very modern. Mine did. It arrive with no damage and was packaged well with good styrofoam cushion.  I intend on buying the matching dresser.
