This is just ok for the price. I'm not super impressed but for a 9 year old it will be fine and he is happy to have a night stand for his Alexa and charging his devices. It was simple to put together but some of the metal parts didn't line up quite right which made it a pain trying to get a couple of bolts in. I did succeed after some cursing and sore fingers. It took me maybe 30 minutes or a bit longer to get it together, would have been faster if not for those 2 screws that didn't line up right. The light strip was supposed to be applied with glue but it just looks like Elmer's glue in a generic tube so I am going to purchase double sided tape to attach it with. The wall plug for the outlet strip is very bulky so if you plan to put this in front of the outlet you need to plug it into you will have to leave a good gap for the drawers to be able to close because it will prevent the drawer in front of it from closing.
It is also small. If you want space for multiple items on top this is not the nightsnad for you but if you just need a spot for your phone or a device to charge beside you and like the idea of a little extra storage it's great. My kids room is small and this doesn't take up too much room to be a concern when he plays VR. It would be MUCH nicer though and practical for more people if it were a few inches wider and deeper. The quality of the wood parts (the table top and shelf) seem very good. I was pleasantly surprised by those.
Over all i would recommend for a kid or a tiny space.
