I think this small chest will serve its purpose well. I wanted something with a couple extra drawers to use in place of a nightstand. This seems to be the perfect size. I hope it proves to be as sturdy as my original nightstand which has proven to be of good quality. While I am hesitant to say this one is just as sturdy, I do hope that is the case. As of right now, Im willing to give this 5 stars. If things change, Ill update my review.
