I am very pleased with the look and quality of the table. In fact, I bought two of the company's end tables as well. Since I was putting the table together by myself, attaching the bottom shelf is difficult. Trying to hold the shelf and screwing into the legs, can scratch and do other damage. I found that by stacking a bunch of towel (or somehting soft) from the table top to the level for the shelf (remember table is upside down) ; the shelf was secure as I continued the assembly. This is especially true when assembling end tables. Also, as someone else noted with the end table shelf, do not tighten the screws for the legs . When you are matching the holes in the shelf with the holes in the legs, you need the give and take to secure the shelf. After the shelf is attahed, you the tighten all the screws.
Over all for the price it is a toss up. It works and is sturdy and for all intents and purposes is a functioning night stand. My largest complaint is that the wood is really soft. Weve had it for about two months and it already has I few good dents (From normal use and also from having small humans running around the house) which are very obvious as the wood under the stain is very light colored almost white.
It looked like a lot to put together but feels overbuilt. Took about an hour to put together and looks nice. Instructions were easy and everything was labeled except for one item mislabeled. I would recommend this night stand
This unit was easy to put together and once it was done it very sturdy. The quality of the wood isn't the greatest so dont have heavy hands when putting it together. As far as the knobs I've added my own and it came out beautiful.
We used this little dresser as a bedside table for an extremely TALL bed! It is exactly the right height! We invested in a glass topper for it and it looks Great!
This item was received however it was not in packaging as requested. The product had scuff marks on some parts, it looked like the scuff marks came from shipping and handling. Since it was in it's original box which was slightly damaged. The scuff marks make it look used.
I am using it for my night stand.
Some of these reviews are incredibly daunting, and understandably so. I would rather have a root canal than assemble another one of these. It took me four hours to put it together, realized I messed up, and then another two hours for my boyfriend to fix it, and another hour to finish the drawers. Its a whole project. Even being experienced in building furniture from scratch didnt help me much here— some of the wood was warped, the recommendation to not use a power drill, etc. On one of the legs, the hole was drilled at an angle and I spent almost 45 minutes of the aforementioned time trying to fit it in, and by the end the screw was stripped. My hands are still red and raw from that part the next day. There were some scratches as well, but theyre on the inside and cant be seen so I dont mind.
Now, that being said, I still recommend this dresser, as long as you have someone to help you and a nice steady hand (to use a power drill to make your life easier). It obviously doesnt look like a fancy expensive dresser, and I do wish the lines on the top drawers were more pronounced, but thats the point— balling on a budget. Im not willing to spend 2-3x the amount of money on a higher quality one right now, and this absolutely does the job of a quality knock-off. If you dont have patience, if you expect expensive quality for 1/3 the price, this is not for you. Otherwise, its like giving birth— its painful and incredibly annoying for a couple of hours, but then you feel relief (knowing youre done) and youre left with this pretty cool thing.
This looks really nice when assembled. A little time-consuming to assemble, but the instructions were clear, and I was able to do it on my own. I recommend.

Soft wood allows for easy nicks and dents.

Perfect!!

Follow the directions and work slowly.

Awful to set up, pretty good result

Quality is excellent
Used for guest room /multipurpose room. Beautiful finish; well packaged so contents very well protected.
This had so many pieces that it took us a long time to assemble. Some parts missing.
Too many pieces to assemble.
Attractive, solid, reasonably simple to assemble
This looks really nice when assembled. A little time-consuming to assemble, but the instructions were clear, and I was able to do it on my own. I recommend.
