I only gave this 4 stars because it is completely unfinished, which i didn't realize from the description. i thought it was more of a whitewash finish. (i think i got that impression from previous reviewers.) i can easily stain or paint it in the future, but it is nice-looking as is for now. i like the larger size as i have two lamps on it. it is sturdy, solid and the drawers are a plus. it went together fairly easily but the instructions were a bit vague.
