The only thing about this nightstand that was odd was that they showed 
the lock bolts facing outward on the back; I assembled that bit 
backwards, didn't seem to make a difference, and I think it looks 
better. :-)  (Not that it matters much, that side is against a wall)

I'll probably find out later that doing it that way means the whole thing 
will fall apart because I can't tighten them easily.
