I really enjoyed making these nightstands (I made a pair). They were pretty easy to make, and I'm 7 months pregnant! I highly recommend the Kreg Jig - they made building these nightstands super easy and efficient. They're really sturdy too! If I can build them, anyone can! I'm still unsure about the finish; I may sand them down again and re-stain them a different color in the future.
