It s nice. Simple assembly, better than in my opinion. Fairly sturdy, functions well, but I wish the drawers would slide out a little further. The brackets are a tad short.
The quality of workmanship is excellent, and it assembles quite easily. Some folks have complained about the instructions, but I found them to be quite good and fully adequate. Based on other reviews, my first step was to start labeling the pieces with masking tape and a marker. But after about 2 pieces, I realized I was wasting my time. There was no doubt about the identity of each piece, if you look at the diagrams carefully. In fact, the one time I nearly did something wrong, I paused to study the instructions, and the details of the diagram showed the subtle differences in the hole patterns in the board, causing me to flip the piece and continue without further incident. So, just go slowly and carefully on your first one, look at the diagrams carefully until you re sure you have the correct parts laid out in the correct orientation, and you shouldn t have a bit of trouble.
I bought two, and the second was short some of the nails used on the back cardboard. No big deal for me, but it might be aggravating for someone without 30 years of accumulated miscellaneous hardware. There were extra of those clever disk doohickeys in both of mine. All in all, I was perfectly satisfied with the contents. Note also that the packaging was excellent, and the parts did not have abraded surfaces from vibration in shipping. I found the tiniest chip in the edge of one of bottom front pieces, and simply colored it in with a dark brown sharpie, and the little white eye-catcher promptly disappeared. Note that you have a choice of bottom effects, if you don t like the gentle arc and prefer something a little more complex. (I like the simplicity of the arc.)
I m not a big fan of particle board furniture, but I needed a temporary solution and didn t want to spend a lot for something I might not keep for more than a couple of years. After assembling these, I find that I like them better than most of the $300+ nightstands I looked at in furniture stores. The drawer hardware is better than many of those units (some just had plastic slides). The overall value of these (looks and utility divided by cost) is incredibly high. Thus, I m not only pleased that I gambled on these, but I m also expecting to keep them indefinitely. When I do buy an entire new bedroom set, complete with matching nightstands, these will go into a spare room. I won t throw them away or sell them. They re just too nice.
BTW, I was concerned about height, width, depth, drawer depth, etc., and these are just about ideal for my situation. I encourage you to take the published measurements and ensure they ll be appropriate for your bed height, wall space, etc. The only modification I made was to drill a 1 hole in the back of each of the shelf sections (and color the edges with that sharpie marker) in order to feed electric cords through. That was easy to do post-assembly, but you have to be careful with the drill, of course, moving it very slowly into and out of position. Cut gradually, gently through, or you may make a ragged mess. (It s often best to cut partway through, then jump to the other side and finish. This keeps you from busting outward the last layer of material.)
In summary, this nightstand is well designed, easy to assemble, and is high quality in every discernible way. It looks good, functions well, and is an outstanding value for the price. No regrets whatsoever in buying.
Beautiful, well made night stand. Excellent construction, all pieces fit together perfectly. It looks very nice. You are really getting more than you are paying for in this case.
Great value for your money. I bought 2 of these after reading a few reviews, and they came pretty quickly. Make sure you have an electric screwdriver to put them together. Instructions were okay, as long as you ve put other flat pack furniture together, you ll do fine. They were the perfect tall height for my bed. They are chipboard, but I expected as much from the price. All in all, I m satisfied with them.
Was looking for a nice reasonable price nightstands, came across this one and decided to purchase it...Very sturdy for the price, can t beat that. Was very easy to built.. Looks amazing in my bedroom.. Awesome find.. Very pleased...
Easy to assemble and very functional. I like that the shelf has a small lip on it when you are done so things don t slide off of it so easily. I bought two and the diagrams were pretty easy to follow. Like with all of these RTA projects, you just have to take your time and do it right the first time.
I purchased 2 as to have matching his and hers night stands. One came with all the correct hardware and pieces while the other was missing a machine screw and had 2 top bars instead of 1 top bar and 1 bar that goes above the drawers. Luckily I have some extra screws lying around I can substitute for the machine screw and I m going to buy some wood glue to glue the other piece where it should go. But overall they look great and seem like an ok quality.
Works great! At this price point, it s all particle board and veneers. I made a small mistake putting it together, there are big cams (slight hole in the middle) and small cams mixed together. I jammed it all together then realized I used the small cams in a few places by mistake. Since they were missing the holes, trying to put the covers on them marred it a bit. ... but ... par for the course for me putting stuff together. I found and switched the cams and all was well. Others complained of poor tolerances - it may be that different runs are better than others - but mine fits together great and works well. I like it much better than a do it yourself model we got from k-mart a while back. Note that the veneer has some wax or coating on it. That s good, but when I thought the veneer might need some more protection and put a clear coating on the top, it all beaded up. So I wouldn t recommend doing that.

It was a bit difficult assembling just because certain parts were not labeled, but overall this was a great purchase!
