This will keep you from drilling too deep. Now is a good time to sand all the parts with 150-grit sandpaper, before you start to assemble the nightstand. Cut two drawer glides at 3/4 x 3/4 x 9 inches.

So stoked to show you how I built these DIY floating nightstands with storage drawers for our new apartment before I head back to my full time job next week and the builds slow down a bit.
