Overall, the nightstands are good. The biggest issue I have is that the instructions tell you not to use power tools to assemble. The issue with that is 1) without a power drill, assembling one — much less two of these things —  will take you an eternity and 2) even on the absolute LOWEST setting on a power drill, the screws will start to push on the outer finish (as if they would pop through easily). As someone who uses power tools and builds with wood often, I don’t like that the margin of error for assembling these is so small. I’d like to see these be made of thicker boards so screws can be securely fastened with a low torque drill setting without the fear of damaging them altogether. Another option is adjusting the length of the screws that are used to attach the feet to the base and the drawer slides to the interior of the unit.
