This nightstand is so nice looking. The material of the outer surfaces is cheap feeling. It seems like it would scratch easily. It's mostly press wood. The instructions were so easy. This was the fastest, easiest piece of furniture I have ever put together. The knob is nice looking. When putting together the drawers everything held in place nicely, no flimsy boards. The hardware is all thrown in a bag together; you'll need to sort out everything ahead of time.
