These nightstands have a lot of potential, and from a distance, they exude a visually appealing charm. However, there are a few drawbacks that become apparent upon closer inspection. They are not entirely made of solid wood, which was somewhat misleading, and the varnish has visibly run on the units I received. Another significant issue is that both nightstands have experienced drawer jams, which proved to be a tricky problem to fix. If I had noticed these issues sooner, I would have considered returning them. On a positive note, the construction was incredibly straightforward, which is a definite advantage.
