The nightstands look great, the color is as expected! We ordered 2 nightstands; 1 handle came a bit scratched and the pieces weren't totally uniform but everything still came together alright. Assembly wasn't too bad - it took me 2 hours to build 2 nightstands alone, though the instructions say it takes 2 hours to build 1 nightstand with 2 people. Definitely recommend using an electric drill.
