This nightstand seems pretty sturdy but we’ll see how they hold up over time. Took my husband about 1.5 hours to put together but only because he had to take it back apart once assembled because the pieces/holes don’t line up properly & it causes some bulging in the back. Also, one of them is missing the back piece so I’ll contact Wayfair and see how they want me to exchange it. I’ll post an update once we get it figured out.
