This nightstand is a very nice looking piece. The top of the stand came damaged but I was able to get a discount after bringing it Wayfair's attention. It has to be completely assembled all the way to the tracks for the drawers. It took about 2 hours for 1.5 people. I say 1.5 because I lost my helper about 1/2 way through the assembly process. It looks very nice and the perfect "rustic" look we were hoping for. The loss of a star was for the price it shouldn't need so much assembly.
