This is a good nightstand for what you pay for. It's not the cheapest nightstand out there which is why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars (it'd get 5 if it were $20 cheaper).

It's made of a high quality laminate particle board (as high "quality" as a particle board can get, anyways) that assembles very sharply together. I've had some bad experiences with other assembled furniture not fitting together quite the way I'd like. The handles have this antique look that's just sweet. The drawers are large but the siderails and rollers are plastic (works perfectly fine but prefer metal). The height comes up even with standard metal frame + box + mattress. The tools you need to assemble is a hammer + phillips screwdriver (different sized heads makes it easier)

We received our nightstand yesterday and began assembly this evening. Five strategic screws were left out of the order and we received two of the same side panels. Assemble incomplete. I will be on the phone with the South Shore folks first thing in the morning to do what needs to be done to make this right. I'm very disappointed with this product and will not be reordering from them in the future. Buyer beware. I'll say this before someone else does: ya' gets what cha pay for.

This is a copy of my review on the double dresser. I would have preferred more expensive bedroom furniture, but the staircase in this 125 year old house is too narrow and has too many corners to bring anything much larger than a coffee table upstairs. So... assemble-it-yourself has been the only way to go. I purchased the media stand from this collection first, and was pleased with the sturdy construction, the attractive finish and hardware, and ease of assembly. This dresser was no different, and I'm pleased with it for the price. The drawers glide easily (plastic runners) and have stops to prevent pulling them out too far, they're plenty roomy. The ebony color is very dark chocolate and black with a soft satin gloss. It's quite neutral and blends well with antique Persian carpets and Tiffany style lamps, though it would work with modern decor, too. Most of the pieces come with a touch-up marker to fix nicks or scratches. I've also purchased the tall chest, nightstand, and mirror. They're all good, basic pieces to decorate around, and reasonably priced for what you get. I purchased the nightstand at US-Mattress.com through an Amazon link to external websites. They shipped promptly and their customer service was very helpful on another item that needed replacement.

I would like to have known this was made in France...NOT USA AMAMZON! It has acceptable quality for the price and suits the purpose I Bought it for, Assembly was fairly easy and all required parts and fasteners were there with several left over....(should I be worried?) Several Fasteners (screws required a special European Screw driver but I got by with a Phillips with different sized tips.

Missing Part F and I am furious. Very complicated to assemble. Way too many pieces, and they have the audacity to exclude the most important piece. I want a refund and the 25 hours it took to assemble it!

My son outgrew the bedroom set we purchased for him when he was small. I purchased this night stand along with the matching headboard and dresser and he loves it. The set arrived one afternoon and he assembled all 3 pieces by himself before I got home from work. Parents: this purchase was a great motivator to get my teen to clean up his room! I am very happy with this purchase and wouldn't hesitate recommending it to anyone that needs a low cost alternative to expensive show room designer furniture.

I purchased 2 of this together along with a headboard. This night stand looks great, not too small, not too big and very steady. I was afraid that drawers might be too flimsy but they actually move very smoothly. It took longer than I thought to put this furniture together but once it is done correctly, your hard work will be rewarded with a good looking night stand.

It is a very well made piece of furniture. Easy to put together! Would recommend to someone looking for an inexpensive nightstand that looks like it cost a ton of money.

I bought this for my daughter's bedroom and it matches her chest of drawers that I also purchased recently. It was easy to assemble with my husband's help and well made.

On the plus side, it doesn't look as cheap as it is and it seems solid.
On the minus, it was a royal pain to put together. Much more complicated than it had to be. Parts didn't line up well. Materials were generally cheap.
We kept it, but just barely.
