This was one of the only bedside tables that was tall enough for my room. There were a few slight defects in the wood, which was expected, and not a problem for me. It’s a great piece for the price. The drawers are a good size. It’s not too wide. I love it! It took two people, who knew what they were doing, 1.5-2 hours to assemble. It does not take 30 minutes. However, it was easy to put together as long as you really follow the directions well.
