Okay, let me start by saying this nightstand looks WAY better in person than in photos. The rustic brown finish is actually really nice, and the LED strip at the back? Total vibe. It changes colors through an app (yes, an app for a nightstand - we live in the future) and syncs to music. My cat is obsessed with watching the lights dance.

Storage is decent - got one fabric drawer (more on that later) and some open shelving. The charging station with 2 outlets is clutch for my phone and tablet. No more crawling under the bed to plug stuff in.

BUT. The assembly. Oh my GOD the assembly. The instructions might as well have been written in hieroglyphics. Had to hammer parts that were supposed to screw in, then realized they were in the wrong spots. The drawer? Basically cardboard wrapped in fabric - don't go tossing heavy stuff in there. Took me an hour and several existential crises to put together what should've been a 15-minute job.

Final verdict? Great if you have a handy person around (or enjoy swearing at furniture). The lights are cool enough that I'm keeping it, but man, what a process.
