Met expectations of our granddaughter. She put it together by herself which was a surprise since she has never shown any interest in making things or using tools.
I recently bought the dresser version with matching design, so I came across this nightstand which I thought would be perfect. Being that its lightweight and has material drawers, I didnt expect it to be like solid wood. I did however expect it to be an even frame and legs. Assembly is fairly simple as long as you keep the frame as straight as possible. Even still, the legs werent even so I had to place small pieces of tissue under two of them to prevent the nightstand from rocking or being too wobbly. This is important if you have hard wood floors. Just not the quality I would expect for the price I paid.
I managed to put it together correctly the first time! Ya kinda have to since there are dowels to glue in. There isnt enough glue though so make sure you get some wood glue ahead of time. I got the Walnut finish and its very pretty. The only thing I dont like is the anti/tip piece in the back. It was warped and had gotten wet at some point so the fiber board blistered. When nailing it to the back, because it was warped it puffed white powder. The third drawer doesnt go all the way in because that back piece is warped. Its not terribly unsightly. For the price, itll do. It was easy to put together and the instructions are passable. The part labeled 17 is 15 in the instructions. I would have like there to be more verbiage as some of the pictures are neither clear nor descriptive I would suggest you use a power screwdriver but dont let it torque down. The arthritis in my body wouldnt let me use a regular screwdriver. It is pine youll be drilling into so remember how soft it is. Its easy to strip out the hole. Its a sturdy piece. Not a wobble! But I glued everything before screwing it in! The top is very pretty but its a little dull so I made up some homemade wax and it glows nicely now. 1 Tbsp beeswax pastilles, 3 Tbsp jojoba oil and 2 drops d/limonene. I use that on all my antiques and furniture. Apply, let it sit for a few minutes, buff with a soft cloth. Beautiful and really brought out the grain of the pine. I expect this dresser will be with me for awhile.
We purchased this to match the wood frame on a futon we moved into a bedroom. It fits nicely in the corner and looks great. Not too hard for my husband to assemble very stylish.
Super easy to put together by myself. Im really surprised and pleased with how sturdy the whole thing is. Its not as sturdy as a real wooden nightstand but it is definitely still sturdy. My fat cat has jumped on it twice now with no issue. Drawers are pretty deep and can fit quite a bit of stuff inside them. And it all around looks nicer than the price point would have you think. I definitely recommend, especially for small space storage solutions! If that changes with time, Ill update here.
The biggest problem is that they use high VOC content stain/varnish, so the chemical smell takes over a week to dissipate. The other problem is the wooden slide ranks for the drawers are clunky and the drawers do not slide in ans out easily. Otherwise, they are attractive, easily assembled, quite sturdy, and very well packed for shipment
I love this nightstand. It was a little too short for my room, I gave it to my daughter.it fits her room and matches her bedframe. The con is it was a little pricey.
I am a bit disappointed in the quality of this dresser. When screwing in some of the screws to attach the legs of the dresser the wood began to splinter. Also, two peg holes were not predrilled causing us to drill the holes ourselves.

Uneven legs makes it wobbly

Ok
You have to mount it to a wall how stupid.
People with strong sense of smell beware!

A Little Dissappinted
I am a bit disappointed in the quality of this dresser. When screwing in some of the screws to attach the legs of the dresser the wood began to splinter. Also, two peg holes were not predrilled causing us to drill the holes ourselves.
