Took a while to put these little fellas together - my husband, who's pretty good at this kind of thing, struggled through the instructions and while under time pressure,  the first nightstand was assembled in 1.5 hours. took at  least 45 minutes to get the second one done, so it's non-trivial. Looks good though, and goes great with our vacation rental cottage on the coast. Good combination of old farmhouse/informal style with charging stations for convenience. Old world and new world combined.
