I purchased two of these for a guest room and have been very pleased with the way the drawers slide and the finish has held up.   I also purchased the matching chest at the same time.   The guest room is small so the open shelving on the bottom of the pieces creates an airy, open feeling.  My only negative is that the inside of the drawers need to have more than one coat of paint.   We did place protective glass on the nightstands to allow for any mishaps or spills from a glass of water.
