This is a great bedside cabinet that adds storage without being big and bulky. You will need to rub beeswax or candle wax on the drawer glides so that they operate as smoothly as possible; it's wood on wood. You will also want to have your own tube or bottle of wood glue on hand because the amount included in the kit is not really enough for anyone who wants to make the piece as solid as possible. I'd also advise only tacking the back to the piece with nails in the corners and maybe one or two on each vertical side. It is difficult (and really not necessary) to add nails along the upper and lower cross pieces in the back. Otherwise than these tips, just follow the instructions and really pay attention to the diagrams so that you get the pieces connected in the proper way. It is a somewhat complex assembly, and it took me about 2 hours.
Cute, solid, but be careful during assembly
