I purchased two nightstands, 6-drawer dresser and attaching mirror a couple of weeks ago and I love them all!
First of all, I did the free shipping and it arrived two days before the estimated date. However, the boxes were a little wrinkled/crushed when I received them.
The nightstands came in perfect condition though no dents or dings on any of the pieces. The dresser pieces did come with a few dings on a few corners/edges but nothing the touch up pen couldn't take care of. (I'm pretty much a perfectionist and I don't notice them)
All look great and weren't too hard to assemble. I thought the instructions were clear and precise for the most part. Sometimes you just have to use common knowledge! The nightstands took about an hour to assemble each and the dresser + mirror took about two hours. Be aware that the drawers for the dresser are side specific. We put it together and tried to just mix and match and I about had a heart attack when they wouldn't fit. But with drawer rearranging, they fit perfect.
All three are sturdy, have even legs and easy sliding drawers. I was a little worried about the plastic drawer sliders instead of metal, but they were easy to assemble and slide great. The knobs are real metal as well -which makes them look really good.
I've only had them for about two weeks so I cannot say how long they will last, but they are good quality for the price. If you are looking for something modern, good-looking and cheap -this is the way to go!I recently purchased 2 South Shore Vito Night Stands. The instructions were a little hard to understand. The pieces are labeled with letters in black ink on the smallest part of the wood and was really hard to see on some pieces. The instructions weren't written out, they were just pictures showing what piece went where. I bought 2 and it took about an hour to put together one. Once they were assembled, they were very sturdy and looked very nice.
My biggest complaint is probably the drawers. Instead of being an actual wheel that rolls on a track, its just 2 plastic pieces rubbing against each other so there is alot of resistance when opening or closing the drawer. I was also disappointed the back panel of the stand wasn't a solid piece, it's one of those flimsy cardboards you nail to the back. You can't really tell but for the price, I thought it would all be solid wood like they advertised.
Overall, it's still pretty good for the price. The shipping was great. It arrived 3 days earlier than was estimated. I would definitely recommend buying this product but only if you aren't looking for anything too fancy...just functional.

instructions were wrong, parts were missing, part of it is actual cardboard! not worth $80. Sticking to IKEA from now on for cheaper furniture. Their parts are metal....the drawer runners are plastic! very disappointed!!!!Read Best Reviews of South Shore Vito Collection Night Stand Here
I ordered a bunch of the South Shore Vito collection (2x Nightstands, 2x 6 Drawer double dressers, the Storage bed, and Bookcase Headboard). All items were shipped and delivered quickly. The boxes are very heavy (the Night stands are fairly lightweight but dressers and especially the bed frame are very hard (the bed frame nearly impossible!) to move by yourself. The UPS guy was kind enough to help me move all of them inside my 2nd floor apartment (thank god there is an elevator!). All items were packaged extremely well, no damage to any of the pieces, and all parts were included.Assembly was very easy, just kind of time consuming (this was my first time assembling any furniture so if I can do it anyone can). All you need is a Phillips head screwdriver and a hammer. I assembled the two Nightstands and one of the 6 drawer dressers the first day while watching Scarface (so over the span of a little over 2 hours) by myself, having two or more people would definitely be awesome, not required at all as I had no difficulty assembling everything alone, but would definitely save you alot of time if you have more than one item to assemble.
After assembly I wiped all the packaging dust off and applied a little windex, all the pieces are very sturdy (I have a loft apartment, bedroom is upstairs, as I was by myself I flipped the double dresser over and over up the stairs to get it up, the piece felt very solid, no loose parts or flimsyness) and everything looks great! I sent one of the double dressers back (without taking it out of the package) only because I underestimated their size, they are quite large, more than adequate in the space department, I have some closet space and along with one of these would be hard pressed to fill up the one, let alone two ha.
Overall very satisfied with all the South Shore Items I ordered and assembled and would gladly order from them in the future.This furniture was too hard to put together. The peices did not line up and broke very easily when putting it together. The finished product looks OK. I guess you get what you pay for.
