This nightstand is made out of very cheap soft particle wood. I guess this is a perfect example of you get what you pay for. A thin coat of white paint is applied to the product which makes it look even cheaper. I guess I'll have to paint it at some point or use it for kindling. Assembly instructions are not very clear and as you can see from the pictures the wood surface gets marked very easily if you press the screwdriver against the side during assembly. Also if you try tightening the screws the wood will split, see picture. The back of the stand and the bottom of the drawer is a thin cardboard. You have to be careful when nailing the back in as the nails will go all the way through the wood, see picture. Overall this product is not worth buying.
