Product came damaged in two different places. The bottom drawer fabric was ripped and the reinforce plate that goes in the bottom of it was all cut and busted up. Nothing will lay flat inside the drawer. Assembly was easy, it is sturdy for the dimensions of it. Looks good for the price if you can get the middle dawers to sit evenly. Overpriced.
Im no stranger to these build it yourself furniture concepts. As a matter of fact I have several of these new style furniture pieces downstairs. That is to say I have experience with putting these together.
This unit specifically is a little disappointing.
Firstly, I saw from other reviews that the drawer wood design was a slightly different color than the faux wood shelves and was hoping perhaps Id get lucky with mine. Its similar enough but the drawers have a more orange tone to them vs the shelving. Luckily my unit was more for function than appearances, as well as being in a colorfully lit area that helps hide the color discrepancy.
Secondly, others have mentioned the difficulty with pulling the two single drawers out. While I dont seem to have that issue, my issue lies with the height difference of the track vs the support for these drawers. The sides of the unit have a built in drawer track, while the middle is unsupported beyond the slightly lower support. What this results in is uneven drawers that tip slightly toward the center. Im honestly considering using magnets to just hold the two drawers together and use them as 1 single drawer with a divider.
Thirdly, the craftsmanship of this is pretty shoddy. As mentioned I have personal experience assembling these kinds of units. I know not to fully tighten any screw until you have them all lined up and partially in for each connecting piece. This didnt stop one of the pieces from completely coming apart during assembly.
While connecting the two side pieces (literally step one) using the bottom support, the nuts that were I guess just glue/sticked inside the bottom support pulled right out when screwing on the sides. So color me surprised when I get everything lined up, go to tighten the screws, and then the thing just collapses on me for what I thought was just an improperly threaded screw that turned out to be the innards of the bottom support just pulling right out. While frustrating, I just pushed the nuts back in, got the middle support bracket in, and helped keep the unit together once attaching the shelves. Still, for the cost you shouldnt have this falling apart on step 1.
All in all, its an ok unit. Its being used as additional office storage after building my own computer desk that did away with the big, chunky computer desk drawers for a more minimalist look. So in that regard it serves its purpose, and is tucked away in a location thats not viewable unless sitting at my desk. This is really easy to assemble and pretty sturdy.
This was very easy to put together . I highly recommend it the only con that I have is that the drawers are smaller than expected but thats a me issue for misunderstanding the dimensions. Other than that it is awesome! Worth it!!!
Looks like real wood in the pics but the drawers are fabric pods. The 2 side by side pods feel like they will fall when you pull out the opposing pod. The opposing pod will only be balancing on one thin bar. Its ok but smaller than expected.
Before my little office cubicle was a messnow with this sturdy little stand, fits perfectly for what I needed and I am more organized and its all tidy and neat put away out of sight. Space saver.

Flimsy

I love my night stand and it was very simple to assemble Simple and easy to put together.
Smaller than it appears in pics
It was easy to assemble and its pretty sturdy. My only complaint was that it seemed smaller than it looks in the pictures. Ok.
Sturdy perfect stand
Before my little office cubicle was a messnow with this sturdy little stand, fits perfectly for what I needed and I am more organized and its all tidy and neat put away out of sight. Space saver.
This thing is tiny
Easy to assemble and seemed sturdy but this thing is sized for children This was a nightmare to assemble.
Looks good and affordable
I didnt realize there was a smaller version that would have worked better in the space i have, next to a hospital bed. Thank you so much.
