Nice work!! But I think $1350.00 low.
My rates would be more like $2350.00
Are the door panels glued up or just tongue and groove with the battens screwed to the face?
If the panels are glued and then screwed on top, they will eventually split when the wood shrinks.
Same with the top on the night stand.
Be aware of wood movement.
Just an observation. You will want to avoid any callbacks later after the stuff is delivered and finished.

I agree with the other comment on the value. Way too cheap. Nice work and don't be afraid to ask a fair price
I agree with the above posts especially the wood movement. You can't stop it so you have to accommodate it!
I wish I lived wherever it is this would be worth over $2000. I could buy that nightstand for $100 at next Saturday's farmer's market. I'm not demeaning the work at all, its great, I just think a lot of you guys are spoiled with the prices you can charge.

You have the choice of going to Walmart and Menards.
Good Luck!
I can hear that top splitting from here. Any glue up over 4 inches wide needs an accomodation for movement.
the guys are right. you should always be aware of movement. this knotty pine will shift faster than most especially being unaware of the customers house climate. beautiful work though, don't under sell yourself. these pieces are truely a bargain at your current rate.
I think your prices are little too cheap as well. I was under pricing my products for a while, then my wife started selling them for me and KABOOM! We started making more money because she jacked the prices up. Anyway, you can only charge what your market can bare. That's a fact. I would like to see the inside of the wardrobe. Also, I like how the doors meet with the knots in the pine.
Very nice job, I have built and sold a bunch of night stands like the one you built. I have never had a top split or crack. Keep up the good work and price them as you feel comfortable with. I sell mine for $300.00 a pair with drawers and raised panel sides.
