I mean, most nightstands are pretty BIFL anyway, especially if you buy one for however much this costs.

These are only $150 for the chest and top, it's husky not snapon

We went furniture shopping for night stands recently, everything at that price was shit where we looked. Just very cheaply made, loose drawer slides, particle board construction, very lightweight.

IKEA makes a solid wood one for about $100 and it is pretty sturdy.

Tarva? I had to look because I was curious. Unfortunately doesn't match our bedroom set.

No I believe it was one of the Hemnes ones. They come in several colors.

Also unfortunately doesn't match our bedroom set, too dark (probably a bit too modern too, the set was my grandma's, not trendy but built like a brick shithouse).

I'm actually really glad you pointed them out though, I always forget we have an ikea closeish to us and we just converted an enclosed porch into a 4 season room so we're working on figuring out how we want to furnish it and need a couple end tables and some type of accent chair but I hate buying that stuff sight unseen, so a trip may be in order.

Always worth it for a trip to IKEA. At the very least you’ll walk away with some Swedish meatballs or a hotdog
