I have the same mixed reaction to these nightstands as most people seem to have. I cant quite give them the five star rating their looks deserve. I love the design, I love the wood but Im amazed at the poor quality control.
The drawer slides are wood, rather than metal, so the drawers were sticky and difficult to pull in and out. I used a candle to wax the slide. It functions all right now, although I am reluctant to pull the drawers in and out very often. I dont want to have to keep waxing the slides. It would have been so much nicer to have a metal drawer slide. The wooden slides make it feel rickety and old-fashioned.
There are no pre-drilled holes to attach the legs, making them somewhat difficult to attach. My husband did it without a drill, but Im not sure I could have done it with just a screwdriver. Once attached, the legs seem rather unstable, although once they were next to the bed with a few objects on them to steady them, they were fine.
Overall, I really love the look. I like the wood, I like the design. They look as if they are good quality, and with only a few minor and adjustments, they would be good quality. I would have been happy to pay a little more to have the construction match the design.
Nevertheless, I am happy that I bought them and now I am thinking of buying the TV console.
Poor quality control, great design.
