I purchased these end tables as nightstands for my oversized and high mattress. I wanted a table that was solid, tall enough for a comfortable reach, and not too bulky. I was a bit apprehensive as another review stated that top was RED. The top does have a SMALL amount of red distressing as it is meant to look a bit weathered. The "wood" is not the quality that I expected, but it is sturdy and workable in my space. I had no problems assembling the tables and all necessary screws, nuts, and tools were included.
