Let me tell you about these nightstands.  I want to start off by saying, these nightstands are very pretty, once the 6 hour assembly is complete.  These nightstands straight up hurt my feelings, my pride and took some of my dignity.  During assembly, I cried, I laughed, I got mad and then happy again.  They almost went in the garbage a few times.  When I got my composure back together, I finished one.  I celebrated.  Then I had to start the other one.  It defeated me at first, even started having flashbacks.  Then I said, get yourself together sister, you got this.  I made a victory lap around my house when the last drawer went in.  I felt like Rocky Balboa.  They are finished now and sitting beautifully in my guest bedroom.  I don't think I'll ever be able to look at them again.  Maybe I will, time will tell.  I say all of this to tell you, PAY FOR THE EXTRA ASSEMBLY!  Don't be like me, don't be a hero to save a little extra cash.  Just do it.
