I really like the open top shelf, 2 drawer design because I can clear things off the top to keep it more tidy. The design is simple and classic and I like that it isn't too wide which works in my space. I had one challenge putting in the cam screw on which the top would attach. The screw was so soft it stripped and I got a blister trying to get it in. I ended up buying needle nosed vise grip pliers which helped complete the job. Assembly was otherwise pretty straightforward. Since the rest of my furniture is not modern, I switched out the square silver drawer knobs for something round and darker. Really pleased with this purchase
