After 13 years of Ikea nightstands, it was time for an upgrade

Ikea Nesna Nightstand
They're the first thing I've made that feel beautiful and I'm really proud of them.
Based on the Moon Fry nightstand from Foureyes with some fairly significant modifications. Walnut with brass pulls, finished in Natura Onecoat. Drawers are 1/2" baltic birch plywood with Blum undermount slides.
Most of the build went okay, other than 1) Having to remake one of the leg assemblies because I had the clamp in the wrong spot and it ended up with the wrong angle and 2) Had to remake a drawer front as I drilled through it from the back when attaching it. Also, I had to fight a lot with the drawer slides to get everything just right. And I need more practice gluing up mitered boxes. And gluing up flat panels.
Now that I think about it, lots of stuff went wrong. Woodworking is hard.
