Very nice piece for the price. The drawers do not have dovetail joints as higher end furniture does but in fairness, the price must be considered when expectations are that of master crafters. The drawers have a roller bearing system. They close tightly as other reviews noted (the drawers have to be pushed in with a little force) but I think over time they will close easier. The blue color is exactly as shown in the online photos and is a beautiful shade. I'm very satisfied with the look and heaviness/sturdiness of the nightstand.
