I needed a new nightstand as I was upgrading from a twin bed with a bookshelf headboard to a queen set. The double drawers fit all my stuff perfectly. I also like the open shelf which can hold all the random stuff I used to shove on my bookshelf. Assembly took a little longer than I would have liked, but the instructions were straightforward and easy to carry out. The drawers glide nicely and feel secure. I feel it is pretty solid for a build-your-own furniture. The finish on the black nightstand is a little glossy and leaves smudges easily, but since I usually put a towel on it to protect the furniture from my stuff, it's not a big issue. I wiped the sides down after assembling with Windex to get rid of my fingerprints.
