Casual Home Lincoln Nightstand Compartment, Concealment Furniture, Mocha

Upon unpacking, no component sustained any damage or scratches. It was easy to separate individual components, and they were well marked with a white adhesive square with a black letter. Component “N” (2 pcs.) was not marked at all, but since they were the only ones unmarked, and with the help of the excellent parts list pictures, I was able to determine which 2 pcs. were “N”. I was not able to locate component “H” (1 pc. – Front crossbar). I also was able to determine that I received three pieces of component “I,” and no piece of component “H.” These two pieces are almost identical, with component “I” having a slot for the back panel “G”, and piece “I” having no such slot. A review of the assembly instructions showed me that assembly was still possible, and that the slot would be hidden by being face down and at the top of the nightstand. I had a couple issues with the wood screw holes. Three holes were drilled slightly too large and the wood screw stripped when slightly tightened. This was easily corrected by inserting a toothpick into the hole to take up space, and assembly was continued without further incident. The nightstand is actually made of solid wood (appears to be pine) and I could not locate any pressboard or veneer. The top slider for the hidden compartment assembly was challenging, but not impossible. A close look at the instructions on page six made the assembly easier. It is just clumsy and would have been easier with two people helping. It helped me by extending the top sliders and hand feeding them onto the night stand sliders until the ball bearings connected. The instructions were clear and concise and well-illustrated. Once completely assembled, the item is moderately heavy but not unduly so as it is solid wood. With the lower two drawers removed, it could easily be manipulated to the position or location you wish. I read some buyers had issues with the locking mechanism. I wish to point out that there is a rubber bumper inserted in the slide rail on the top sliding cover. When closing the top, a slight extra effort may be initially needed to engage the locking mechanism. When opening, when it was new, after using the magnetic key, a slight push toward the wall was needed to disengage the lock. You will hear an audible “click.” I have opened and closed the top many times now and it opens easier as the lock pin blends into the hole in the wood. I do not mind that the lock is secured by the rubber bumpers under slight pressure, and it is just a matter of understanding how the top locking mechanism works. All in all, this is a well-made item, it is truly solid wood, and well worth the purchase price. I personally wish to thank Customer Service Representative for the wonderful assistance and input. This item is made in Thailand and not in China as it says in the Amazon listing. Hope this helps someone. UPDATE 03/15/2025: Everything still great. Rubber slider bumpers getting worn-in and I am having to push less and less toward the wall to get lock to "click" open. Just a final note: when opening, remove magnet key right away. This will allow locking pin to drop and ride along top ridge to another hole and "lock" open. (Think of it as a slider limiter!) To close from this "locked open" position, just put key back onto unlock position and move the top toward the wall. Remove magnetic key and pin will drop into the "lock closed" hole. Failure to move magnetic lock key after open will allow top sliding shelf to come all the way off if you let it keep traveling away from the wall. Don't ask me how I know (LOL!). What I do now is unlock it, slide the top, remove the key, get what I want, and push it back closed. There will always be some of the hidden drawer under the sliding top. It is not meant to open that far. Hope this helps. It is a great looking item and well-made and well designed.

Well made & Real solid Wood. Everything lined up just fine during assembly. The only downside was the 1.5 inch depth for the hidden shelf. I was however able to increase the depth by inverting the hidden shelf, (installed upside down) which now gave me a total of just over 2-1/4 inch depth. To further strengthen the inverted shelf, I installed small shelf brackets underneath. Other than the depth issue, this is a great buy. Also during assembly make sure you line up the drawer screws properly wth the pre drilled holes, otherwise you’ll have stripping issues. I don’t know why they did not design this with greater dept n the hidden shelf snce it appears possible given its design.

Happy with the quality and parts fit. Top locks tight. Magnet should be stronger.

Very poor construction of the materials. The whole unit rocks and is way out of square. We bought it for the secret storage, what a joke. The top literally slides back-and-forth when locked at least a quarter inch. Very disappointed in the quality of this. If you do get one, you definitely want to use wood glue during assembly as it is poorly held together. One portion of the unit had two big dents in the trim piece. The dents definitely came from the factory, and not during shipping as they were in a piece that was in the center of the container. The locking mechanism is nothing more than an 1/8 inch pin that drops down into a quarter inch hole in the wood. The pin is dropped into place by gravity, and lifted back up by a magnet. Not sure I would trust it to hold my favorite recipe let alone anything important. throwing this out there for everybody who was thinking about putting anything important in it. This unit is way over priced for the quality. It is a solid wood but it is a very soft solid wood that scratches with your fingernail. It can hardly be considered concealment as the top slides even when locked. Although it does stop it from sliding open. It is obvious that the top opens by touching it as it is so sloppy. If you want to hide a firearm next to your bed, Stay away from this. Almost forgot to mention, our top is on crooked. The slides are pre-mounted in the factory. If you look at the one picture from behind, you will be able to tell that one side of our top is a quarter inch higher than the other.

This is all wood, no particle board like Sauder and other crap furniture. The top is not 1 solid piece it's glued and mortised but it's wood. Assembly was easy not sure what others are talking about. I did it in 15 minutes and I only have 1 leg. Lock works perfectly. They package it really well, so unless shoppers throw and drop it, should arrive fine. Not 5 stars because the wood quality is not highest but it's a nice piece of furniture

After searching dozens of potential products on Amazon I decided to take a chance on this product. I could not be more pleased with the results. I had a slight problem during assembly of top track to line up with the nightstand base track but I will take the blame for that since I did eventually get it to line up and fit correctly. This is a nice looking piece of furniture and not a cheap press-board type of wood. The locking mechanism is effective and so simple in design that it is genius. If you need a small space to safely store items then this might be good for you. There is plenty of room but be cautioned that the height is only about one and a half inches. Take that into consideration when you think about that items you wish to store. All in all it is an awesome product that looks very nice as well. In practical terms I haven't mentioned that it has two roomy drawers with a large open space to place other non-hidden items as well.

I absolutely love how solid this nightstand is. I was worried it would feel like furniture from a certain Swedish store, but it feels STURDY! My only complaint is for something you don’t want the world knowing you have, the box explains very clearly and boldly what it is, so be careful if it has to sit on your porch for any amount of time. Also, be aware there’s a sticker that covers the locking mechanism. I wish that piece of information was provided in the instructions BEFORE the part that has you mount the top portion to the stand. Critiques aside, this is a 5 star product from my perspective.

Beautiful, putting it together was tough. Now the top won't completely close. May have to get help as I don't want to man handle it and break it.
