Casual Home Vanderbilt Nightstand with USB Ports - Espresso Finish, Modern Bedside Table for Bedroom, Nightstand with Charging Station for Phones & Devices

Easy assemblyI hope the following itemization of pros and cons help with your search for a decent night stand.Pros:- The size of the nightstand fits perfectly with our bedroom layout. The published dimensions on Amazon are more or less accurate for this product.- The USB port, which turned out to be the deciding factor in purchasing this nightstand, is a nice feature.- These are primarily made of solid wood, with only a little MDF (particle board, fiber board) used to make these.- The night stands were beautifully packed. It really looked like an effort was made to make sure no damage occurred to the product while it was in the packing material.- The price is attractive for a product that is stated to be made from solid wood.- If you receive a whole product that isn't suffering from too many manufacturing flaws, it is very easy to assemble. The first unit took me about 10 minutes to put together after I took it out of its packing material.Cons:- If they were being sold as "distressed" that might help explain the tool marks and poorly stained surfaces of the wood of both units.- The drawer bottom and the sides are a cheap MDF material. The sides are not that big a deal due to their ornamental purpose. However, the drawer bottom is; this material will not hold much weight without failing. I anticipate I will need to replace the MDF drawer bottom with thin plywood in the future.- The feet of these night stands are nothing more than rough sawn posts. No attempt to finish the bottom of the four feet other than stain was done. It looks like someone took a circular saw to a 2" x 2" to cut them to length, then used a quick brush of stain on them after drilling for mounting points. There is clearly no pride in workmanship here.- As others have noted, holes for the assembly screws don't line up properly. The wood dowels on the drawer frame and stand top do not align properly with their corresponding holes in the sides of the unit. I would recommend any purchaser have a small rubber mallet, wood glue, wood clamps and possibly even a drill with assorted bit sizes to adjust for these alignment problems.- Do not expect the mounting screws to be able to be flush with the mounting surface. Tighten the screws until lightly snug only. Tightening more than that could cause parts, especially in the corners, to crack.- Of the 2 units I purchased, one looked halfway decent with no broken parts. The other was a completely different story. The right side part had a broken piece at the mortise channel for the bottom of the decorative MDF panel. Wood glue and clamps resolved this, but why should they be necessary on a new product that just came out of the packing material?- The rear screws of the bottom shelf tf the second unit were not inserted properly at the factory and had been stripped. This allowed the bottom mounting strips on each side to warp, causing a mounting hole alignment problem and very aesthetically displeasing. Sawdust caught in the stain between the bottom surface of the shelf and the mounting strip indicate that this is might be a manufacturing problem. Out came the wood glue and clamps again to correct this.- Apparently, a lot of scrap lumber was used in the construction of these because the first unit has a chunk of the lower shelf mounting strip missing. It was missing before the stain was applied - again, no pride in workmanship here. On the second unit, the wrong type of wood filler was used to fill in large gouges making its finish appear splotchy as if a kindergartener was unable to color inside the lines where the stain made it obvious where the filler ended and the wood began.- This is a minor nit to pick compared to the other problems found with these nightstands, but it just solidifies my conclusion that these are not being professionally manufactured: The upper portion of the MDF side panels of the second unit appear to be stained a different color than the rest of the unit. It looks like the worker staining this unit ran out of stain in the middle of the process and had to get another can of stain to continue. In the process of doing that, either the wrong color of stain was grabbed, or the worker doubled up on the part already stained making it appear much darker than the rest of the unit.If I were looking for a nightstand again, I would hesitate before buying this product. There is a definite quality control problem where these are being manufactured in Thailand. Assembly is hampered by improperly drilled mounting points. Corner material will crack if the mounting screws have more than a few inch pounds of pressure applied to them. I would most assuredly not pay the going price for these units unless they were in the $30 - $40 range. I would buy these knowing that the chances of receiving a broken unit is high - 50% in my experience. Do not expect the units to be uniformly finished; the materials they use in manufacturing are not uniform, and leave the impression they are made with materials slightly better than scrap lumber at your big box home store. I have attached photos of the second unit right after I took it out of the box. The only editing done is cropping to the flaws and renaming the files to give an indication of what is being shown in the photos.Easy to assemble!! I’m a woman who does stuff like this very rarely. It was easy. Everything lined up!Just 12 screws!Looks fine when all assembled. There's no reason not to buy this nightstand.This is a beautiful nightstand. We looked in all the furniture stores in the area and everything we saw was expensive and ugly. This is such a great looking and well made product. Sturdy wood and metal housing for all the connecting screws ... so no wood strain when you attach screws! I love the classic "Craftsman" style.Beautiful piece of wooden furniture, real wood which youdont really see anymore. Beautiful color, nicely made.The nightstand is really nice when everything comes together. Assembly was easy and straight forward. My issue is that one of the two identical nightstands I had ordered appeared to have been dropped along the way somewhere as it had come slightly damaged. Two of the top edges were slightly dented on one, and the sidewall had come apart. I was able to fix the sidewall with a bit of wood glue and applied a bit of thick electric tape to the damaged tabletop so that no one will get splinters. Even with the damage, the nightstand is still quite nice. I'd still recommend to a friend but would advise them to carefully look at all the pieces before tossing the packaging.Love this nightstand. Amazing value for the price. I didn’t have any issues whatsoever. Very quick assembly, color is even and as pictured, all charging ports work. Highly recommend.Ordered 2. Both came damaged. Power supply falls out easily, but still functionalPerfect nightstand, well built and so easy to assemble. Very fast delivery.
