It took me a long time to find white nightstands that would have the proper proportions for my king-size bed, and these are definitely it! I bought two and assembled them myself without too much difficulty. The boxes (and assembled nightstands) are quite heavy, but I found it easier to move the assembled nightstand than the box, since there was more area to grip.
Assembly was not quick - the screws are of a cheaper variety, so I had to screw everything by hand to avoid stripping the screws. Assembling two nightstands took about two hours, though I did mistakenly assemble the cam locks incorrectly on the first one, and had to undo/redo part of it. I would advise assembling the drawers first, since the cam locks on the drawers are a slightly smaller size than the ones for the top of the nightstand - on the first nightstand I assembled, I didn t realize that there were two different sizes. The smaller cam locks for the drawers will fit in the holes for attaching the top, but the larger ones won t fit on the drawers, so by assembling the drawers first you avoid accidentally using the wrong ones.
I left the back panels off of both nightstands to allow me to easily run charging cords for my cellphone and tablet - the units seem quite sturdy without the back panels, and it saved me some time in assembly. The nightstands do not wobble or shift at all once in place, even when my large 14lb cat climbs on it and jumps off. The drawers are very spacious, and the shelf is a great size for tucking some books and other miscellany - I use it to store my glasses at night, so my cat can t knock them off the nightstand. All-in-all, I feel these nightstands were an excellent purchase - they are composite material, not solid wood, but they seem well made and sturdy, and look great in my bedroom.
Great, tall nightstands!
