This nightstand is quite small, but that was stated clearly within the dimensions. Regardless, I find the size perfect for my needs. The instructions are very straightforward. There are a lot of pieces, so it takes a while to put together, but it is not a complicated process. I am a 19-year-old girl with a basic understanding of tools and I was able to assemble it myself easily. The nightstand is sturdy and I think it is nicely built considering it only costs $110. The drawers are smooth and the finish is nice.
