It was better than what I had expected. Inside of the drawer has an upholstered look. Very smooth. Ships with a thin film of plastic on it so that there is no damagescratches during shipping. I ordered 2 nightstands and had requested full assembly. One of them was not properly assembled so the bottom drawer wont open all the way. They are replacing that one. Overall a very good set of furniture (we bought the bed, nightstand and the chest from this collection)
