Overstock Nightstand


So I bought this nightstand from Overstock.com last week. I used one of these coupons to snag free shipping and it arrived a few days later. I wasn't 100% sold on it, but every other nightstand I had seen was ugly (or too pricey) and I liked the whole black and metal handle design. Assembly was pretty easy (and I'm not the type that likes to sit down and assemble furniture), but sadly Overstock forgot to drill holes on one of the pieces of wood. Annoying, but luckily I was still able to assemble it w/o having to drill any holes.

The build quality is pretty sturdy — a lot sturdier than it looks in the photo. The wood feels nice and heavy — not like some piece of Balsa wood. The drawer doesn't open/close as smooth as I would like, but that's a small nitpick on my part. Overall, I like it a lot. I had never bought anything from Overstock before, but now I would definitely order from them again. For my next purchase I need to find a floor lamp.
