The wood used in this stand is great.  However, the top of the nightstand wasn't selected very well; one back corner of the stand is not square and appears like it was at the edge of a cut on the board that was used for this part of the stand.  Two of the legs had small stain drips.  The wood used  for this nightstand demands better quality control because if the material was properly screened and the finish done a bit better this would have been a 5 star + nightstand.  If I thought that I would get a 5 star stand I would return this one.
