These were exactly how they are pictured here on the site and assembly was easy. It only took me less than 20 minutes to put together each nightstand. As many have said before, these are on the shorter side but they worked out perfectly for my home. However, I do wish they were just a few inches wider. 

This didn't bother me but if you're looking for a high shine gold finish, these are not for you as the finishes are more of a brass matte.
