I purchased two of these for my grandkid's guest room in my home and they match the black metal framed beds and the wood bookcase in the room. They assemble in about an hour for each using the tools provided PLUS you need a drill to make pilot holes for the charging outlet piece since there are no holes pre-drilled for those two screws. The bottom shelf is a kind of tray with a 1 inch rim so things wont fall off, which is a nice detail. They are sturdy, good looking and the USB+120v outlets on the top back surface are excellent for charging things and placing a lamp. These items are packed incredibly well, the directions are all illustrations and require careful attention to detail to assemble correctly. I highly recommend this item as a good looking, low cost piece of furniture.
