I couldn't be happier with the quality of the nightstands that we received for the price that we paid. They arrived in perfect condition, which is definitely due to the packing. Every corner on this piece was covered in multiple layers of styrofoam and hard cardboard, so nothing could shift or get dinged during transit. I was preparing myself for a scratched top or beat up legs, but there isn't a single scratch on either one. Shipping was fast, and better yet, free! The only assembly were the legs, which took me a whole 5 minutes. No these aren't solid wood, but who cares, they're just nightstands. They're nice to look at, have ample storage space, and they're large. Overall, I couldn't be any happier.
