Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!

It is always recommended to apply a test coat on a hidden area or scrap piece to ensure color evenness and adhesion. Use primer or wood conditioner as needed.

Can you tell me if the shopping list includes the material for one or two night stands? I'm assuming its just one but want to make sure before I get started. I am planning to build two and want to make sure I have enough supplies.
Super excited about this plan! Thanks for posting!

Is there any reason this…
Is there any reason this nightstand could not be made with 1/2 in plywood? Would other adjustments need to be made?
