I haven't finished putting it together yet because It's virtually impossible to put together without going insane. I am usually very good at putting furniture together- I even like putting together Ikea pieces. The instructions are fairly easy to follow, but guide holes are missing for several of the steps. Several of the steps might be easier if done with a drill- but the area is too cramped to use a one. Also, the material is brittle and cannot handle the nails without splintering. Yes, this nightstand is inexpensive- but I had higher expectations for quality. I don't recommend this.
