Let me start by saying this nightstand is ADORABLE. The farmhouse-style X-shaped door and dark yellow top give it that perfect vintage vibe that instantly elevates any bedroom or living room corner. At 23.6 inches tall, it's ideal for placing next to a sofa or bed - no back strain when reaching for your midnight snack!
The assembly was mostly painless (took me about 25 minutes), though I did have to double-check the instruction pictures a few times. Pro tip: loosen all screws slightly when aligning pieces - this saved me major frustration. The adjustable door feature is genius - you can configure it to open left or right depending on your space needs.
Now for the not-so-great: The size is quite petite (11.8"D x 15.3"W) - fine for holding a lamp and book, but don't expect to store bulky items. My unit also had undrilled holes for the door latch (a common complaint), forcing me to DIY the solution. While customer service offered replacements, the hassle wasn't worth it for me.
Final verdict? At $45 (sale price), it's a decent value for small-space dwellers who love rustic charm. Just be prepared for some potential quality control issues and keep a drill handy!
