Danette 3-drawer Nightstand

Rating

The nightstand is sturdy and surprisingly heavy. All in all, it's a decent value, and looks good beside one my beds. The other reviews are generally accurate, and so I can only add 2 points.First, I am unhappy with the drawer glides. Specifically, they do not operate smoothly, and actually seem to jam if pulled to either side. To actually get any drawer to fully slide all the way out, you must carefully pull them straight out.Some of reviewers mentioned that they had problems with the glides, while others said that the drawers slid quite smoothly. My experience is that they slide in a rather disjointed fashion, and not at all smoothly. (And yes, I did read and follow the assembly instructions faithfully, so I'm certain the stand is assembled correctly.)Second, and this is the biggest problem, Overstock has transposed the height and width dimensions. I selected this item largely because I wanted a rather low, elongated nightstand that did not extend above the sill of a bedroom window, and so it seemed perfect at the LISTED size (as of 10/13/2009 the Overstock web site still states "Dimensions: 25.4 in. H x 29.2 in. W x 18.9 in. D").Now that the ACTUAL size is 25.4 in. W x 29.2 in. H x 18.9 in. D, it looks less than perfect, although it's a decent stand at a decent price. I'm not saying it looks bad or is flimsy, it's just not what I thought I was ordering, and so I'm giving it a "solid" 3 overall!

Very solid nightstand and the price is right! The back of stand is exactly as described in other reviews, two pieces of wood held together with packaging tape. However, it is not a big deal as the tape side goes on the inside of the nightstand so its not visible. The drawers are shallow for those who can't tell from the photo, but if you fold you clothes and don't stuff things in, it will fit everything you want. The assembly is easy, just take your time and follow the instructions. Drawers slide in and out smoothly. Sturdy piece of furniture, very happy with the product! It is heavy (75lbs +) as its made out of real wood, which is a huge plus.

I purchased two night tables for my guest bedroom. For what I will be using them for the value was great. For my own bedroom, I would prefer something a little more solid. The night table was made of good wood until I got to the piece that was for the back. It was two very thin pieces of plywood that were held together by a piece of packing tape,( the kind with strings for reinforcement.) Until I saw that I was very happy with the product. It was easy to put together however I would have preferred that quality materials were used for the whole night table.

I bought this with the Milton Chestnut bed. They are a very close match. You can barely notice the difference in color. I assembled it by myself and it was fairly easy. Make sure you have a rubber mallet for the job. It's a great night stand. The top drawer doesn't slide out as easily as the other 2, but that's probably due to my assembly. No big deal. Overall, I love the night stand and hopefully I will have the dresser assembled soon. I definitely recommend the Dannette.
