These are very nice stands. I bought 2 for the bedroom. The wood is thick and heavy, so they're going to be around for a while. They were more or less easy to put together, EXCEPT for the drawer rails. We had to dig out the holes a little because the screws were stripping way too easily... Thus the loss of star. The drawers are deep, and the surface has plenty of room for a lamp, clock, and books. Overall I'm very happy with these, and they look great in the room.
