Love the bare wood finish! The assembly takes a little bit of patience and some of the less visible pieces had small defects in them but overall, I'm satisfied with the finished product and the price. I decided to ignore the warnings and use a power drill because some of the screws are impossible to put in place with a screwdriver. Here's a tip if you decide to do the same thing: make sure to really turn down the torque on your drill since I accidentally overtorqued some screws (there are 2 tips sticking out slightly from the side of the nightstand).
