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. Rating: 5 / 5 This is a copy of my review on the double dresser.

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) Rating: 4 / 5 This is a good nightstand for what you pay for.
