Review on ๐ŸŒฒ South Shore Fynn 2-Drawer Nightstand in Winter Oak, $100 by Angela Wash

Buy it but read this review first!

I have never ordered anything from this company but I know take out furniture. This is not the case with instructions in general and you should be aware of this as you delve into ANY flat pack furniture assembly. I am personally very impressed with these bedside tables. I think it's fantastic value for money. They look great in my bedroom and I can tell they will look more upscale if my bedroom is fully adorned with mirrors above the bedside tables. any point. I think if you just take the time and pay attention to the labels you shouldn't have any problems. I saw a few reviewers point out that all the handles are mounted on the right side of the drawers, which can look weird if you have matching nightstands. It can also be awkward if you're trying to open the "left" nightstand while lying in bed, as you have to reach the leftmost handle on the front of the drawer. I fixed it with a drill. Bit for drilling 2 new holes for the screw-in handle. I measured and made sure the handles were the same distance from the edge of the drawer as the other nightstand. I've added photos so you can see what it looks like. As for the 2 extra pre-drilled holes where the handle was originally supposed to be, I'm going to fill them in with cheap wood glue (they sell for under $5 almost everywhere) and use a plain black marker to hide the filler. Tips to make your life easier when assembling: - Take a few minutes to read the instructions and details! They are marked and do not deviate from the direction. Use wood glue or gorilla glue to attach each screw, dowel, etc. It fully cures in a matter of days and is a major contributor to overall structural integrity! This is sooo handy when buying flat furniture that is not known for its high quality. Buy a cheap cordless hand drill to save your hands when assembling projects like this. Purchase a roll of matte contact paper to cut and tape to the top of your bedside table. It is almost invisible and instantly protects the surface from liquids and scratches from ordinary objects that are regularly placed on it. It's a cheap and easy solution for longer life and a better overall look - Assemble BOTH drawers at the same time to speed up this step - Take your time and accept the fact that assembly may take longer. At least it's done right the first time!
