These are beautiful nightstands - I ordered 2. They arrived in just 2 days! I only had to screw in the legs. There is a definite manufacturing odor that is dissipating but it is still there even after 3 days. The drawers do close tightly. I rated these a 4/5 because the drawers stick so when you try to open them, the entire nightstand moves. I think with some wear they will open more smoothly. I love that the pieces arrived completely undamaged because there is a TON of protective wrapping.
