I bought two of these as nightstands for my bedroom. Love them. They’re solid and were pretty easy for me to assemble, but if you don’t have the patience to study the pictures, it might be worth paying for the assembly . It does take a while to put it together...about two to three hours each. All you need is a Phillips screwdriver.   I used a power screwdriver the second go round, which sped it up a bit. I’m very happy with my purchase.
