I can assemble things that have easy instructions but these instructions almost overwhelmed me. It took a bit but I was able to put it together successfully. I feel confident putting heavy objects on there because it is very durable. I think the design and material look very clean and modern. I like that it also has a bottom shelf you can use as well.

I am torn about how to rate this bedside table. When I finally got it assembled, no easy feat, it looked quite good in the room. However, it was a challenge to assemble. I estimate it took four to five hours, the package of the little wooden connector dowels were missing. I had to go to the hardware store and get a package. I'm sure they would have sent me some but I didn't want to wait that long for such a minor thing. I'm fairly handy but not a woodworker so it may be my fault. I had to re-drill a few holes to make the screws fit. The instructions were challenging but I did get it together slowly. I didn't have to take anything apart and redo it. That said, when it was done it looked good but it's not sturdy. The one drawer does not easily slide in and out. In fact, without some pushing side to side it often won't open at all. I would not recommend this piece to a friend but if you know how to adjust things like maybe the rollers in the drawers it might work for you.

This end table is absolutely beautiful and very minimalistic! It is very heavy and made out of great materials and has such good quality. We are moving soon and I can't wait to have this in my new living room. Pictures will come soon.
