no assembly required...great product
I like the nightstand a great deal, but it is quite large. I have a large room, but if I had two (one on each side) my room would look a bit cramped. It is great overall in quality, color, and style. I can but a great deal on top as well as in the drawer/shelf. I would definately recommend just make sure you have the room.
The nightstand was shipped to me fully assembled. All I had to do was a simple attachment of the drawer handle that was included. The nighstand is sturdy and has a large drawer. The storage space underneath can fit lots. I was able to store my collectors edition (large) boxed dvd sets and still have enough room to put my books and magazines. The surface area of the stand is more than large enough to hold my tissue box, reading books, mug, remote controls, picture frames, cellular phone, alarm clock, etc. I also put my laptop underneath the stand when I'm not using it. For those of you who have VERY minimal space I would recommend looking for something a little smaller as this could be a little bulky. For those of you who don't have a problem with space I would def. recommend it!
