The bedside table arrived on time and securely packaged, so there was no damage despite the design of the piece meaning there are several protruding elements. 
The drawer opens and closes smoothly, and the finish is matte white but looks high quality. Although it is matte, it is easy to wipe up any spills. 
The table is quite heavy, which is great in that it is sturdy even when laden with books or with a full drawer, but it does mean carrying the box when it is delivered is a bit of a challenge if you're on your own - be careful! :)
Very happy with this purchase.
