I love the nightstand, but I apparently mistook the semi-dark lines across the front of the nightstand as a shadow, which it is not. Also I noticed the decorative top piece of this nightstand was not put on accurately. I was very disappointed in the fact that the manufacturer didn’t do their due diligence in making sure the measurements between the drawers, as well as the top decor piece were put together more accurately. The so called shadows across the front of the nightstand are an empty space. I do not approve of the look knowing it’s an empty space. Now I will have to go to a hardware store to purchase 2 white partial strips to glue to the furniture to cover the open spaces, so that nothing tiny can slip through and end up under the furniture piece.
