Prepac Sonoma Nightstand with Open Shelf, Cherry

We bought TWO of these tables for the sides of our bed. The color is pure white, very nice. The nightstand itself is study and feels like good quality. We drilled a hole to thread a charger cable for our cellphones. (Pictures provided!) *Pros -* • The color is pure white and beautiful! • The quality is pretty legit for the price! • Plenty of bedside storage and the top has plenty of room! • Drawers are pretty deep! • Assembly doesn’t take too long! After assembling our first one, the second nightstand we blew right through in maybe 30-45 minutes! *Cons -* • The directions are a bit difficult to follow. Especially as far as attaching the wheel rails for the drawers. They are colored — but in the directions they are not. • I wish there was a small hole provided to run charger cords through the cubby space. We ended up drilling a small hole for this reason. * Assembly Warnings/Advice * • My main advice is to definitely pay attention to detail. One backwards thing can really set the whole project haywire. • Pay close attention to the Zinc Cam pieces. There are small ones AND large ones. THEY are NOT all the same size!! Do not misplace them. The small ones go for the drawers so just put those aside at the start and don’t touch them until you assemble the drawers! If you misplace those in another spot on the nightstand, you will ruin the entire thing & be missing the correct pieces for the drawers!! The small ones can fit into the large sockets, but the large ones will not fit into the small sockets. So be very careful and just put those small ones aside so you don’t accidentally put small pieces on another part of the dresser without realizing. You will not be able to assemble your drawers without those certain small pieces! (I hope that makes sense!) *Overall opinion* So far, we love these! Especially for the price! They fit our room perfectly, are a pure white color and provide much needed storage! You can also change out the knobs and we probably will later on as well to match our bedroom theme/bring a fancier aesthetic to them. The back board is actually pretty sturdy and it took some effort to drill through to make a hole for charging cord(s). I recommend these and am very happy with the purchase, especially at this price!

I was suprised how durable and sturdy the parts of this product are as I was expecting lower quality. The holes are also machined precisely, making it easily to put different parts up together. Moreover, the instructions are rather easy, clear, detailed and straightforward. Aaand the final result looks really beautiful! In fact, I enjoyed it and had one of my best (if not the best) furniture DIY experiences ever!

The quality of workmanship is excellent, and it assembles quite easily. Some folks have complained about the instructions, but I found them to be quite good and fully adequate. Based on other reviews, my first step was to start labeling the pieces with masking tape and a marker. But after about 2 pieces, I realized I was wasting my time. There was no doubt about the identity of each piece, if you look at the diagrams carefully. In fact, the one time I nearly did something wrong, I paused to study the instructions, and the details of the diagram showed the subtle differences in the hole patterns in the board, causing me to flip the piece and continue without further incident. So, just go slowly and carefully on your first one, look at the diagrams carefully until you're sure you have the correct parts laid out in the correct orientation, and you shouldn't have a bit of trouble. I bought two, and the second was short some of the nails used on the back cardboard. No big deal for me, but it might be aggravating for someone without 30 years of accumulated miscellaneous hardware. There were extra of those clever disk doohickeys in both of mine. All in all, I was perfectly satisfied with the contents. Note also that the packaging was excellent, and the parts did not have abraded surfaces from vibration in shipping. I found the tiniest chip in the edge of one of bottom front pieces, and simply colored it in with a dark brown sharpie, and the little white eye-catcher promptly disappeared. Note that you have a choice of bottom effects, if you don't like the gentle arc and prefer something a little more complex. (I like the simplicity of the arc.) I'm not a big fan of particle board furniture, but I needed a temporary solution and didn't want to spend a lot for something I might not keep for more than a couple of years. After assembling these, I find that I like them better than most of the $300+ nightstands I looked at in furniture stores. The drawer hardware is better than many of those units (some just had plastic slides). The overall value of these (looks and utility divided by cost) is incredibly high. Thus, I'm not only pleased that I gambled on these, but I'm also expecting to keep them indefinitely. When I do buy an entire new bedroom set, complete with matching nightstands, these will go into a spare room. I won't throw them away or sell them. They're just too nice. BTW, I was concerned about height, width, depth, drawer depth, etc., and these are just about ideal for my situation. I encourage you to take the published measurements and ensure they'll be appropriate for your bed height, wall space, etc. The only modification I made was to drill a 1" hole in the back of each of the shelf sections (and color the edges with that sharpie marker) in order to feed electric cords through. That was easy to do post-assembly, but you have to be careful with the drill, of course, moving it very slowly into and out of position. Cut gradually, gently through, or you may make a ragged mess. (It's often best to cut partway through, then jump to the other side and finish. This keeps you from busting outward the last layer of material.) In summary, this nightstand is well designed, easy to assemble, and is high quality in every discernible way. It looks good, functions well, and is an outstanding value for the price. No regrets whatsoever in buying.

I put this together in maybe 1.5 to 2 hours, though I wasn't rushing. The pieces all felt like they were of good quality, and there were no broken or scratched pieces. The assembly directions were clear enough, and the design seems stable. The bed it's beside is very tall and this is just the right height. The drawers run smoothly without sticking. Overall I'm quite pleased by the look and feel of this nightstand and the experience of the assembly.

Easy assembly and looks fine. Better than expected. Overall I’m pleased
