Review on Enhance Your Bedroom with the Prepac Sonoma 2 Drawer Nightstand in Warm Cherry by Alexandra Griego

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent workmanship, easy assembly, detailed instructions, high quality.

Excellent workmanship, easy assembly. Some people have complained about the instructions, but I found them to be pretty good and perfectly adequate. Judging by other reviews, the first thing I did was mark the parts with tape and a marker. But after about 2 pieces I realized I was wasting my time. If you look closely at the diagrams, there is no doubt as to the identity of each part. In fact, once when I nearly got it wrong I paused to study the instructions and the circuit details revealed subtle differences in the hole patterns in the board, forcing me to flip the part and continue without further incident. So slowly and carefully go to the first one and look closely at the diagrams until you are sure you have the right parts in the right orientation and you shouldn't have any problems. I bought two and the second one had some short nails on the back of the box. I don't mind it much, but it can be annoying for someone who doesn't have 30 years of accumulated equipment of various kinds. My two had more of those tricky record things. In general, I was completely satisfied with the content. We also note that the packaging was excellent and the surfaces of the parts were not rubbed off by vibrations during transport. I found a tiny chip on the edge of one of the lower fronts and just filled it in with a dark brown marker and the little white bait immediately disappeared. Note that you have a choice of ground effects if you don't like a smooth arc and prefer something more complex. (I love the arch's simplicity.) I'm not a huge fan of chipboard furniture, but I needed a temporary solution and didn't want to spend a lot of money on something I might not keep for more than a few years. . After I assembled them, I found that I liked them better than most of the $300+ nightstands I've seen in furniture stores. The drawer hardware is better than many of these units (some only had plastic slides). Their overall value (looks and usefulness divided by cost) is unbelievably high. So not only am I excited to bid on them, I look forward to keeping them indefinitely. If I buy a brand new bedroom set with matching bedside tables, they go to a vacant room. I will not throw them away or sell them. You are just too good. BTW, I was concerned about the height, width, depth, depth of the drawer, etc., and they're almost perfect for my situation. I recommend you take the published measurements and make sure they are appropriate for your bed height, wall space etc. The only modification I made was to drill a 1" hole in the back of each shelf section (and the edges with a mark) for routing electrical wires. This was easy once assembled but of course you have to be careful with the drill and move it in and out of position very slowly. Cut gradually and carefully, or you may end up with an uneven mess (often it's best to cut off part of the path and then jump to the other side and finish. This prevents you from tearing the last layer of material outwards) . Easy to assemble and high quality in every way, looks good, works well and is excellent value for money.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and chunky
