Room×Lab Review · Review updated September 1, 2026

Across all colors, owners praise the narrow fit and manageable assembly; durability complaints describe lifting edges, dents and warped drawer parts

Room×Lab read 1,333 distinct written reviews of the BRIMNES nightstand on IKEA's US site, behind 1,336 ratings averaging 4.56, 955 of them five stars. The reviews cover the gray, white and other colors together; where a review names a color, it is labelled here. 145 reviews are recent and 1,188 older. Durability comes up in relatively few reviews. The six reviews below were picked to show the range from one to five stars, so they do not reflect how often each view appears.

Room×Lab rating: 7.8 out of 10 (medium confidence). Owners across all BRIMNES nightstand colors praise the narrow footprint, manageable assembly and value. The caveats: the low height can sit below a tall bed or block an under-bed drawer, and the few owners who discuss durability more often describe lifting edges, dents and warped drawer parts than lasting quality.

  • Assembly usually goes smoothly: 199 favorable mentions; 46 concerns — Across all colors, 221 reviews discuss assembly, and most owners found the build manageable. Complaints name unclear diagrams, confusing panels, misplaced holes and missing parts.
  • The compact footprint is a strong fit—when the bed is not too tall: 148 favorable mentions; 42 concerns — Across all colors, 163 reviews discuss size and fit. Owners often liked the narrow footprint; a smaller group found the 20 7/8-inch stand too low for their bed or too small.
  • Durability complaints: lifting edges, dents and warped drawer parts: 11 favorable mentions; 31 concerns — Across all colors, durability comes up far less often than assembly or fit. Complaints describe lifting edges (one owner saw it on both nightstands within a year), dents, warped drawer parts and worries about plastic hardware; check edging and hardware as you unpack and build.

Before buying

Measure the 20 7/8-inch height against your mattress and make sure it will not block an adjacent under-bed drawer. Check panels, foil edging, the glass drawer front and hardware for damage before you start building.
