I was actually a little impressed with the quality of this considering the reviews werent so hot. It boiled down to needing to buy one in a short amount of time for a Christmas gift (and being sold out of all their black nightstands). I have a small bedroom shelf thats as well, and although its cheap, its held up surprisingly well over time, so I figured I would give this one a shot. This nightstand was a lot better quality than I was expecting and I didnt have any issues whatsoever with assembling it by myself (for reference, Im a woman). It didnt take long for all the screws/whatnot to become loose (within a day at most) and I did have to go back and re-tighten everything. At the end of the day, though, I would totally repurchase this again. It was exactly what my daughter had been wanting and didnt kill my pocketbook in the process. Which is good, since my daughter has since burned a ring in the top by spilling acetone on it. Sigh...kids.
Would buy again!
