Room×Lab Review · Review updated September 29, 2026

White-finish owners, like Shadow Grey owners, praise a sturdy, roomy build; complaints center on drawers needing a firm push and drawer odor

Crate & Barrel's 369 ratings cover the whole Mason bedroom collection, including dressers, a chest and Arched Metal beds, so they are not a nightstand-only score; Room×Lab read 313 distinct written reviews. This review rests on 24 reviews of the white-lacquer 26-inch nightstand (Oct 2022–Aug 2026) and 100 of the same two-drawer design in Shadow Grey (2016–2024, under older and newer grey names); 13 more grey-nightstand reviews sit outside that count. Chipping and odor reports are labelled with the owner's finish. Most describe the first months; only a few cover a year or more. The reviews below, white finish first, pair typical praise with specific complaints.

Room×Lab rating: 7.1 out of 10 (medium confidence). White-finish owners describe a sturdy, roomy nightstand with a clean look, and Shadow Grey owners of the same design agree. Caveats: some white owners report drawer odor, drawers that need a firm push or a damaged delivery; chipping reports come from grey units; no white owner describes more than about a year of use.

  • Sturdy build across both finishes: 58 favorable and 2 critical mentions about sturdiness and build quality. — Praise comes from white and Shadow Grey owners, mostly as first impressions rather than observed long-term wear. Both critical mentions are white-finish owners with damaged units: one got a broken corner and then a replacement that looked glued together; the other says one of two nightstands had a completely damaged leg but doesn't say when.
  • Drawer closing and soft-close: 17 favorable and 5 critical mentions about drawer action and closing. — Many owners describe smooth, easy glides. Owners of both finishes say the drawers must be pushed fully shut; one grey unit's drawers sat about 1/8 inch open, and one white owner says the push slides the stand on wood floors. One white and one grey owner describe soft-close drawers, while one owner of each finish says they aren't.
  • Odor from the drawers: 2 favorable and 4 critical mentions about odor. — White-finish reports range from a severe musty smell that made the room unusable, to a slight odor still present after about two months, to a drawer VOC smell that cost a star. One grey owner's lasting chemical smell may come from a dresser bought alongside. Two grey owners report no smell. No owner yet describes the smell fading over time.

Before buying

Choose the white Mason for sturdy, roomy storage if you accept drawers some owners must push firmly shut and an odor some white owners report lasting weeks or months. Check its 26-inch width and 27.75-inch height against your bed; look for damage at delivery.
