Winsome Henry Nightstand, Black

I bought two of these two years ago and they are holding up great. They were pretty easy to assemble. I like the color and so far there no scratches.

Others have commented on the quality of this furniture - yes, it is a $40 nightstand. You are getting what you're paying for. However, after reading tons of reviews and still deciding to buy, I was surprised with the quality of the product. The top, side, and front/back pieces are quite sturdy. The only real "flimsy" parts are the inner shelves (bottom and middle). I wouldn't put 90lbs on those shelves but they definitely hold items and do what they are supposed to.The nightstands were incredibly easy to put together - in all, it took us about 20 minutes apiece (we bought two). As others mentioned, some of the holes didn't line up quite right but if you screw in with force you'll be fine. We ended up going back and tightening all of the screws twice on both pieces just to be sure they were truly in. Once we did that, both nightstands were really sturdy and are doing well next to our bed now.I am honestly impressed with the quality of this product considering it was only about $40 per piece with tax. I would definitely order them again if I needed them in another room. They're convenient, easy to put together, sturdy, and do a great job as a nice accent for a bedroom.

This is a cheap product. It is also inexpensive, so the price and the quality match. For what you pay, it looks really nice. I wanted a couple of inexpensive but attractive nightstands to go on either side of my bed, and this delivers. It made of a solid wood front and back, and the side panels are thin pressboard (halfway between cardboard and wood-composite). The two drawer bottoms are also cheap pressboard. These would not hold up to any heavy items on the inner shelf or inside the cabinet. They are so light that the entire unit moves when you try to open the door, because the magnetic latch is relatively strong (this is less of a problem if you put something heavy on top, like a lamp). When putting the thing together, I recommend that you keep the door closed and put the bottom shelf in first. When the door is open, then inside corner of the door protrudes slightly into the interior space, and you can't pass the shelf bottom into place. I tried to force it, and chipped the cheap drawer bottom - my fault.Also, the little plugs that are supposed to conceal the screws don't all fit in the holes tightly, so they will occasionally fall out if you don't glue them in. If you glue them in, you'll never be able to disassemble the item. However, this thing is cheap enough that you probably won't be taking it with you when you move, anyway, so don't worry about it.Once you get it put together, though, it looks really quite nice, and to someone who isn't looking closely, appears to be higher quality than it actually is. I have left drinks on top of it overnight, and the top holds up well to water - doesn't damage the melamine top.I did not have any problems with the outgassing of fumes that one of the other reviewers reported. Either the manufacturer fixed this problem, or this is a problem with only some lots.

I take this over IKEA. Enough surface space for my nightstand needs and plenty of room for my gaming controllers, ps portal, and Nintendo switch lite. The quality is pretty cheap but if put together correctly, it looks really nice. You have to be delicate with assembly to get proper alignment. Good stability but I had to attach non scratch adhesive on the bottom of the legs because it didn’t have anything to protect my floors. The height is perfect. Probably my favorite nightstand I’ve ever had and for 22$ it was a steal

If you are expecting top quality for $35, then these particular Winsome night stands are not for you. I purchased 2 of them and both had some issues with finish and fitment. I was not expecting perfection in this price range, so it's not that big of a deal, at least not to my problem solving skills. I gave them a low rating because the issues I had made them borderline returnable, but I decided to fix them myself. After all, I more than likely would have received replacements that had issues as well, so why bother. Minor cosmetic issues along with fitment tweaking here and there is par for the course for furniture in a box, especially in this price point.These are MDF (medium density fiberboard) with a thin, fake wood grain laminate adhered to the surfaces. They consists of 9 individual pieces, held together with 10 wood screws that secure into pre-drilled holes. The instructions are simple, easy to follow and all that is required is a Phillips screwdriver and if you receive units like mine, some glue as well. Assembly time for the first one was about an hour, but the second took about 20 minutes. They are packaged well and mine came with no parts missing.As for fitment, there were several issues but all were minor. The shelf in the top compartment and the side panels are a 1/8" thick cardboard type material and are not perfectly flat. One of my side panels had a slight bow which made fitting it into is designated slot problematic. There are two small rails that must be attached in order for the front and back pieces to fit together, both with small dowels on each end. One of the dowels was partially broken on mine, but luckily it was barely hanging on outside of its hole. So, I broke it off the rest of the way, applied a little epoxy and stuffed it back in. Some of the gaps were also a tad large in the frame and unfinished wood could be seen peeking through. Considering my tables were black, the gaps were lighter in color and really stood out, so I used a toothpick and some black paint to hide them. The top compartment is separated from the rest by a thin shelf. The shelf sits in place on 4 plastic shelf holders that slide into pre-drilled holes. One of my holes was slightly higher than the rest, which resulted in one corner of the shelf higher than the rest. So, hand drill to the rescue...problem solved. The bottom shelf (basically the bottom of the table) and the top have no structural support underneath in the middle, so putting something heavy in the center of them will more than likely result in bowing over time.The finish on both were far from perfect. Some tiny dents and dings can be found on both my tables if one looks hard enough. Some still had black paint to hide them and some didn't. The ones that didn't, I quickly covered up with a black sharpie marker. The biggest defect I found was on both top pieces. The tops are thick with beveled edges and are the main eye catching feature of these tables. Both my tops had edge damage, one minor and one major. I actually was considering returning one for a replacement but decided to give the trusted black sharpie another chance. It covered it up well and I was able to assemble the table so the damage was facing the wall and could not really be seen. The doors, which are pre-installed with pivot pins, swing out nice and have magnetic closures along with heavy, brushed nickel finished knobs.Because of their light construction, lack of proper cross bracing and small feet, once assembled, they do wobble and twist a little bit. Once a lamp and other items are placed inside, they become a little more sturdy. On carpet they seem to sit level, but once put onto a hard surface like a kitchen floor, they tend to be slightly uneven and rock a bit. I'm using them on carpet, so no biggie. One thing that I did find helpful, was that the instructions come with an order form for replacement parts. If yours arrive with missing or damaged parts, you can fill out the form and mail it in. Not sure if the company will actually honor this or not, but it's nice to have the option. Overall, for the price, they are just ok. They are functional and look good but it will take some TLC to get them there. Don't expect perfection. Make sure you have some wood glue and stain or paint handy to cover up the nicks and dings from the manufacturing process. If you want good quality, plan on paying for it.
