I am following along with the video. Even though [to the best of my knowledge] my code matches Mattox's, the benefit/aside content functions precisely as it did at the end of the previous exercise.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 71,349 PointsWhat is your computer monitor screen width? If your screen is less than 1026px, then this exercise isn't going to work and your aside content will stay on the bottom of the page.
Try pasting your aside code inside a different media query, such as min-width = 54em, and then your drawer should work like in the video.

11,778 PointsGreat question. Unfortunately, I have not chosen to delve deeply enough into this, but there may certainly be some browser inconsistencies in this exercise.
When I adjusted the top position to be around -19.5em, instead of Maddox's -21.5em, it worked a little better; but, the columns were running into each other.
So, I don't know if there is a missing rule (I tried 'universal' box-sizing too), but I don't think it's anything that you did wrong based on following this tutorial.
I also downloaded the Project files, opened up the 'final' CSS file, and pasted it in my workspace - same results.
