Over-tightening fasteners and / or lifting table by its top will result in disaster, at least it did for me. I have my doubts about both the quality of the tables materials and the craftsmanship of its construction.
Good packaging. Yes, it was smelly originally, but the odor emitting substance dissipates after a day or so.
Only problem I had was that there was one piece missing. Disappointing any time parts are missing. Fortunately, it was a piece I can probably find at the hardware store - a screw to fasten a handle to the drawer. Though its tough to make the time for such trips, so it sits with only two of three drawers having handles.
Ive put so many pieces of furniture together in my time that I just expect most to be crap and have instructions that are pretty much useless. This table is by far the best designed, best instructed, and best material ive ever seen on a boxed piece of furniture. The instructions are amazing and by far the easiest Ive ever seen written. I bought two of these, one for my room and one for my 8yr olds. After I started, I realized that he could pretty easily put this together himself. So he built his and hes only 8. The cam bolts screw into treaded nuts mounted in the furniture and everything else is so easy to put together you cant screw it up. You wont find a better nightstand for the price anywhere else. The materials are great and hold up really well. The final product was super solid and didnt have a bit of sway in it at all. My only complaint is that the drawers are a bit small, 7 on the inside, so Ill be looking for another one of their nightstands to see if they have one thats a bit larger. If you want a quality nightstand that wont break the bank, you cant go wrong here.
I read all the product descriptions and many reviews. I knew what I was getting. This are good for starter homes or when you need just a little something for an empty space. These will not become family heirlooms passed down for generations. Still, they are cute, functional, and a great size for a small place. All pressed wood. Slick black finish that is sort of matte. Has some purposeful distress marks. I ordered two that were shipped separately. Both had all hardware plus a bag with extras. I needed none of the extras. I put each together in under 30 minutes with the tool they provided.
Im satisfied with the purchase. I do think they are a wee bit pricey for what they are. I definitely wont be setting a glass of water on them with a strong coaster.
This nightstand was well packaged and very easy to assemble. The drawers came with metal sliders already attached. They open and close smoothly and have a stopper function so the doors dont fly out of the dresser. I finished assembling two stands while my three month old napped and was still happy when I was through. I spent weeks looking for a changing table with drawers that does the same. When it arrived I had to attach the sliders myself and the parts didnt fit together well. I was thrilled when a some-assembly-required night stand had these features and they worked! Thats a win for !
There was a bit of sticky residue on the outside surface of both night stands. However it was on parts in the back and was less visible when wiped down with a damp cloth.
More difficult to put together than expected. About 1 hour. Second one, 45 minutes. They serve their purpose and doesnt look or feel cheap. Cant beat the price. I used wood glue for dowels as other have suggested giving it a sturdier feeling.
Table itself is a 5 but only giving it 3 stars because of the fumes this thing gives off. Wow, I work around chemicals all day so I am definitely not sensitive to that stuff, but after one night I had to put this on the back patio for a couple nights to air out. Its now been about a month and every once in a while I still get a whiff of it. If you plan on getting it, plan on leaving it in a well ventilated location with the drawers open for a week.
Love... Not the best but definitely not the worst!... Easy to put together!...If you can READ, then you can easily put this together!... Bought two of these for the look/style and the price. Replaced the knobs and Voilà! And instant pop of beauty!... Love they way they look!
What is the deal with this only have 3.5/5 stars? After getting this I managed to put it together in 30 minutes or so. Everything was there as it needed to be and it came with extra pieces just in case (which were needed in the end).
The instructions were so easy. If you dont read the instructions right, of course youre going to have trouble putting something together. I was guilty of that for the first step. After learning my lesson the hard way, I managed to put the whole thing together rather easily. Any issue was my fault.
It looks wonderful. The drawers a little smaller than I expected, but having three of them really helps offset that. This is great for small things such as socks, underwear, and my bottom drawer is for miscellaneous items all around my room. Easy to clean and set up, and really it does look great. I highly recommend this if you can spare an hour at most to set it up. Wooo!

Easy to assemble and looks more expensive than what it actually is. I put it together in Less than 60 minutes
Beware: Assembly Required

Nice furnitue, but missing a part
