This item is very small. My son took it to college for use next to his platform bed. It works well for that, but would look super strange next to a traditional bed as it is so small. The quality is mediocre, but for the price, it will definitely serve its purpose over the next couple years. Assembly wasnt too bad, just know that the instructions are pretty poor and dont expect a ton of help there. Liked the more modern appearance once we got it together.
