How to Assemble Ridged Nightstands with Gold Circle Handles

A pair of matching nightstands can add both function and style to your bedroom, especially when they feature eye-catching ridged fronts and bold circular handles. The pieces shown here have a warm wood finish, a plinth-style base, and two drawers each, providing ample storage. Below is a step-by-step guide—complete with consistent image descriptions—to help you assemble these chic nightstands.

Step 1: Unboxing & Organizing

Instruction: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Each nightstand should include two side panels, a bottom panel, a back panel, two drawer fronts (with ridged detailing), drawer side pieces, drawer bottoms, and a hardware kit (screws, bolts, gold circle handles). Lay everything out on a clean surface, verifying each item against your assembly manual.

Step 2: Building the Main Frame

Instruction: Identify the two side panels and attach the bottom panel between them using the bolts or screws provided. Keep the hardware slightly loose so you can adjust the alignment if necessary. Next, secure the back panel, ensuring it lines up with the edges of the side panels. Finally, position the top panel (or attach it if it’s separate) and tighten all screws once the frame is square.

Step 3: Assembling the Drawers

Instruction: Construct each drawer by connecting its side panels, bottom board, and the ridged front panel. If the gold circle handles aren’t pre-installed, secure them from inside the drawer front with the screws provided. Repeat for the second drawer.

Step 4: Installing the Drawers & Base

Instruction: Carefully slide each assembled drawer onto the rails inside the nightstand frame, testing their movement by gently pulling in and out. If the design includes a separate plinth base, flip the nightstand upside down and attach the base to the underside using the provided bolts. Once secure, return the nightstand to its upright position.

Step 5: Final Checks & Styling

Instruction: Gently shake the entire unit to confirm stability. Tighten any remaining bolts or screws, and wipe down the wooden surfaces with a soft cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Place your newly assembled nightstands beside the bed—use the drawers for personal items and let the ridged fronts and gold handles stand out as a modern design statement.
