My tip for assembly: use an electric screwdriver. It'll save your arm but you don't have to worry about sinking screws in too far like with a drill.
I have a metal bed that I love, but a lot of furniture just looks too much next to it. These basic stands work perfectly. My bed is brushed bronze so the walnut finish looks perfect with it. I've already purchased the matching chest of drawers and will probably buy the dresser as well. I really wanted matching bedroom furniture but was starting to loose heart unless I changed my bed too. I'm very pleased to have found these.
I have never personally bought laminated particleboard furniture, and this will be my last time. The end table arrived with several pieces damaged. Each box weighed 33 lbs and should have had more protective packaging. However, when I reached out to the company they were very helpful and sent replacement pieces. I just finished assembling the second nightstand only to realize that I had been sent one incorrect replacement part. Just know when purchasing this piece of furniture that particle board basically means that if you have any bump resulting in a break in the laminate, the piece underneath crumbles to the touch. I will reach out to the company again, but that just means I will have to take the piece apart almost completely to replace. Good thing assembly was easy. I just feel that at almost $90, this piece should be a little better quality. Lesson learned.
Once assembled? The item looks as pictured. Assembly was HARD. I bought two, so had to do it twice. The quality is decent for the price. Lots of dowels and wood glue, plus many many screws. It feels decently solid and study though. Some of the pre drilled holes are off, which led to the drawers looking crooked, so that had to be redone, which was a pain.
If you hate ikea furniture assembly, these are not for you.
Style wise, they are super basic. The legs give it mid century modern look. I upgraded the drawers with decorative pulls.
The box included all the necessary pieces and everything went together according to the instructions. It is good enough for our guest room that sees about one visitor per year. The instructions say not to use power tools, but I would use an electric screwdriver next time. One piece of the wood was just bare and not stained like everything else. We will try to stain it ourselves sometime. Not worth trying to return everything for that minor flaw. You can see it in the photo: the bottom piece of trim.
To be fair, a packet of glue was included. BUT ... There are several dozen dowels that must be glued and a couple of seams. Using a fastfood packet as an applicator is asking for a mess.
There are what feels like several hundred pieces to assemble, but the instructions are clear and easy to follow. No quibbles there.
The finish, on the other hand was perfunctory. If I had paid full price (I purchased a used-like new at a discount) I would have been peeved. Consider getting a small can of finish to go with the bottle of wood glue.
I paid for assembly to be done by workers and once they assembled my piece I noticed a lot of tears and scratches. I am not sure if the assemblers did this or the shipping company. I kept the product though because it is a good storage unit with a lot of storage

Black nightstand
Took about 15 minutes to assemble but good for the price.

Love these Nightstands!
Love these nightstands so much, I bought another pair for my spare room. Very sturdy. Takes some time to put together, but worth it.

Do yourself a favor, use your own glue.

Takes two people to assemble the frame.
Like the color, space and the one drawer, but thought that it was a little taller. Should have payed attention to the dimensions.
