I'm very happy with the nightstands. I ordered two and didn't assemble them for 3 months so I was worried that if something was wrong I couldn't return them.
It took me a while to assemble them but if you follow the instructions they are very clear (I don't know why people say the opposite, i feel they are extremely well done, simple and intuitive) but in the end the nightstand are pretty sturdy and stable.
The wood is real wood, not like that compressed second quality material that you can find in many pieces of furniture that are even more expensive.
If you look close you can see some of the wood patterns through the white, but I like it. It shows it's real wood and make it more vibrant in my opinion.
The holes were all in the right spot, and didn't have defective pieces. You need some strength as each piece has 60-70 screws that you have to screw into the wood (there are not holes for that but pine wood is soft). I'd recommend using a drill to do it quickly and without effort.
While this chest looks good and seems to be of good quality, it came completely unassembled. My husband had to go to the hardware store to get screws as the ones included were not long enough.
?The dresser is small it's also smaller than the bedside tables. Overall it's ok for the price, I guess. It was a pain in the butt to assemble! Luckily my husband can do great woodwork! In the video I attached, you'll be able to see that there were no holes to insert another piece. He had to physically drill holes in the drawer to be able to complete it. Luckily he was able to do so considering it was one of the last pieces we needed to actually complete the dresser. Yes, we followed the instructions and we weren't going to disassemble it at that point. The pieces were not properly assembled prior to being shipped.
The bedside tables were not at all easy to assemble. They are also taller than the matching dresser. Decent storage. Ok price for the item.
I can't even write a separate review for the dresser and the bedside tables. As far as sturdiness goes, it's fine.
As far as the overall purchase, shipping and handling went, I'm going to be fair and give an average 3 star rating. Had it not been for the piece that was not completed prior to distribution, it would've received a 4.
It took a while to assemble, it is sturdy but they could have put more effort into the looks. You get what you pay for. It's a bit on the small/short side! I'm happy with it though
I managed to put it together correctly the first time! Ya kinda have to since there are dowels to glue in. There isn't enough glue though so make sure you get some wood glue ahead of time. I got the Walnut finish and it's very pretty. The only thing I don't 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 doesn't go all the way in because that back piece is warped. It's not terribly unsightly. For the price, it'll 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 don't let it torque down. The arthritis in my body wouldn't let me use a regular screwdriver. It is pine you'll be drilling into so remember how soft it is. It's easy to strip out the hole. It's a sturdy piece. Not a wobble! But I glued everything before screwing it in! The top is very pretty but it's 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.

3 DRAWER NIGHTSTAND
THE 3 DRAWER NIGHTSTANDS ARE PERFECT BUT I HAD TO HAVE A FRIEND PUT THEM TOGETHER. THE NIGHTSTANDS ARE WAY TOO COMPLICATED TO PUT TOGETHER.

Wrong screws to install drawers
Did not receive the right screws to install the drawers properly
Hard to assemble!
While this chest looks good and seems to be of good quality, it came completely unassembled. My husband had to go to the hardware store to get screws as the ones included were not long enough.
Nice side table
This is the perfect size side table for my guest bedroom. It was easy to put together .
Very poor quality
This came with multiple broken pieces. Also have to assemble every drawer and piece. Quality is very poor

Nice size for small spaces
Only picture instructions, but got it put together. Nice size for the price.
Its nice! Looks great but is a little cheap
It took a while to assemble, it is sturdy but they could have put more effort into the looks. You get what you pay for. It's a bit on the small/short side! I'm happy with it though
I did it!
