We ordered two of these nightstands in white and are pleased with the finished result. They are sturdy once assembled and provide good storage for small pieces of furniture. These nightstands are made in Thailand.PACKAGING IS IMPRESSIVE. Each piece is cushion wrapped and taped, with foam separating the pieces and protecting all sides of the box.
ASSEMBLY WAS NOT DIFFICULT. It took us about 10 minutes to unpack and sort the pieces and hardware. The hardware is presorted by type and size and placed in individually labeled bags. VERY NICE-no time wasted trying to sort through hardware to find the right piece. They even included extras of most of the hardware needed. The instruction sheet includes simple, logically written directions along with clear illustrations of each step. There are 10 pieces to assemble for the nightstand frame and 4 additional pieces for the drawer. It took us about 40 minutes to actually assemble the second nightstand. All holes lined up correctly for the hardware.
THE INSIDE DIMENSIONS OF THE DRAWER are 12 3/4" long, 9 3/4" wide and 2" deep.
THE MATERIALS USED TO MAKE THE NIGHTSTAND ARE AS FOLLOWS:
1. WOOD (unknown type, but doesn't appear to be a hardwood) is used for the drawer frame, frame pieces, top, bottom and legs.
2. MASONITE for the back panels and drawer bottom.
3. MDF or particle board (can't tell which with the painted finish), approximately 5/8" thick, for side panels.
4. PAINT (on our white nightstand), NOT LAMINATE. There is no laminate on any of the pieces.
FIT AND FINISH are average for this type of furniture. There were a few small flaws in the paint finish such as a small chip, a couple of very small gouges, and a small area where the paint "ran". These were in areas that are not noticeable or not seen. They could be touched up with white paint but they were minor enough that we didn't feel the need. The paint covered very well and evenly. The finish on the pull-out tray appears to be just black paint, so if you are placing a drink on it, you will need to use a coaster or something moisture resistant under it. Some of the pieces weren't as precisely cut as we would have liked, leaving small gaps where some of the pieces meet. These gaps probably wouldn't be noticed by someone else at first glance and don't affect the appearance drastically, but were a slight disappointment.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS from the enclosed instruction sheet are:
NEVER use glass cleaner on finished furniture, never allow liquids to remain on furniture, do not use commercial waxes or polishes, do not place hot objects (including drinks) on surface and do not use rubber based place mats.
To clean, use a soft cloth moistened in lemon oil polish or lukewarm soap and water, then buff with a dry, clean cloth.
If you are looking for a flawless piece of furniture, please look at a higher price point. If you want an attractive, affordable and useful nightstand and don't mind a few minor imperfections that probably won't be noticed, this is a good buy.
UPDATE JANUARY 2013: I purchased the nightstands in October 2012 at a cost of $130 each and they were a real bargain. The current price is now $171. Still love these nightstands, but wanted others to be aware of the price I paid when I said "Good Value".
