First off, let me say this nightstand is *adorable*. The natural rattan weaving gives my bedroom this cozy, boho vibe I’ve been craving. It’s like a little piece of a tropical getaway right next to my bed. The two drawers are perfect for stashing my midnight snacks (don’t judge) and random trinkets that would otherwise clutter my nightstand.
Assembly was… an adventure. The instructions were clear enough, but some parts required serious elbow grease to fit together. My partner and I may or may not have had a minor disagreement over which screw went where—but hey, we got it done in about 30 minutes. Pro tip: keep a damp cloth handy because there were some weird fuzzy fibers (not rattan) clinging to the pieces that needed wiping off.
Now, about the size—this isn’t your standard nightstand. It’s *petite*. At first, I panicked because my chunky novel and massive water bottle barely fit on top. But honestly? The compact size grew on me. It forces me to keep my bedside minimal (goodbye, junk pile), and the shorter height actually works better with my low-profile bed frame.
The metal legs feel sturdy, though I did add little felt pads because our floors scratch easily. The drawers glide smoothly—no jamming yet—and the rattan hasn’t snagged any of my clothes, which was a worry.
Would I buy it again? For the price and style? Absolutely. Just know what you’re getting: a charmingly small statement piece that might test your patience during assembly but wins you over once it’s in place.
