After having a few difficulties assembling the nightstand due to instruction errors and ambiguous instructions, I have found that it meets my needs.  I was looking for a nightstand that could provide a place to put my CPAP machine.  This meets the need with its open shelf.   I purposely did not install the back on the stand which now gives me a means for feeding  a power cord to the CPAP from the back.  Similarly I placed my charging cords for phone and I pad in the drawer and fed the wires through from the back.  Everything is now uncluttered as compared to my previous night stand which consisted of drawers only, and no open shelf.  The price is ok for what you get but not exceptional based on the fact that you have to assemble it yourself.
