Fremont Nightstand in Espresso Finish

So I purchased two of these to go with the Prepac king-size platform bed and headboard (which I have not received yet).

I just finished building them so this is very fresh in my mind.

First of all, the packaging is great and thorough. No way these are going to get damaged unless there are some negligent UPS people...

All the parts were there and there were extra nails and some of the drawer-type screws included in case you had an accident or lost some.

I will say that I consider myself an expert in building furniture of this type and enjoy the process.

That being said, I can imagine some having a little trouble with assembly, only because the instructions are not perfect.

Now I have never seen perfect instructions, so I was ready for that... but still... you'd think they'd try to get every detail down.

Even so, I found assembly to be relatively easy, although time consuming.

For myself, again I consider myself an expert, it took me almost an hour and a half to build the first one. For a complete amateur, I'd give yourself at least two hours. Once I figured it all out, I was able to build the second one in less than half my time for the first and almost not needing the directions... so take that into consideration.

There are simply a lot of parts and you spend time interpreting the instructions carefully and making sure that finished sides are facing correctly etc.

Now in most cases, there is only one way it can go, so I see why they left that out... but still... make it easy on everyone!

Now once it's complete, I'll say that it looks very nice and seems to be well-made and quite sturdy that is except for the inside of the drawers.

This is the only reason I give the piece 4 stars instead of 5.

The drawer fronts are fine and seem high-quality like the rest of the pieces. The drawer insides are made of this wood that's so flimsy to the touch I was afraid of touching it too hard. It basically felt like balsa wood.

So I was EXTREMELY careful putting the drawers together... they went together fine and the pre-drilled holes on them (and on everything else as well) were perfectly aligned so the completed piece looks very finished and straight in all respects.

I have to decide how much I actually want to put inside these drawers as again I'm afraid they'll break...

For the price I was expecting low quality. Most pieces are higher quality than I expected, so I was going for 5 stars. The drawer pieces are so cheap though it lowers my rating by one.

Since I won't be lookng at the inside of the drawers anymore though, I'd definitely recommend this piece for the budget conscious.

I'm sure they will be in our bedroom for many years to come (or until we get richer and can afford real-wood furniture that we don't have to put together!)

You won't be disappointed.

And lastly, they include a matching marker pen to fill in any scuffs or mistakes that works perfectly. Nice touch. There were no marks on it from packaging and shipping, but I made a couple nicks putting them together, and this pen was very welcome!

Quality is great for the price. Not difficult at all to put together if you have even the slightest experience with building furniture in the past. Great color! Very nice finish.

Parts will break in your hand while you are trying to assemble it. I ordered 2 of those and had to wait for replacement parts twice, each time it took 2 weeks because it's shipping from Canada. Eventually, I gave up and know I have a nail sticking out of one drawer and the backend of the drawer broken, just because I am sick of having this thing setting in my room with one drawer. I don't think I'll be ordering Prepac products anymore

I wish the table was taller, but it matches the headboard and not as much of a pain to put together. The instructions still stink though with no numbers on the wood pieces so you're left to guess.
