Sounds high priced to me too. If you get solid wood furniture for nightstands or dressers, you might want to invest in glass tops for them to protect your investment.
I replaced several "antique" (read old and not very nice with water rings and other damages to the surfaces) nightstands that I inherited from the POs of my house next door with stylish, but serviceable side tables from places like TJ Maxx. The surfaces were polyurethaned or glass so not prone to damage and if they got ruined, I was not out hundreds of dollars. People remarked on how nice they were all the time! Go figure...
I would advise to put your money in good quality beds (like Muirford mentioned) or larger pieces (armoires) were you get more impact for your dollar. I also spent money on nice wool rugs.
