I'm re-purposing this nightstand into a "telephone stand". It is the perfect size to set the main base of a telephone on, the drawer, which is dove tailed, will easily hold a stack of junior sized legal writing pads, pens, pencils, scissors, etc. , and the cabinet below has more than enough space to accommodate several large phone books or use for other storage. This cabinet has an empowering personality despite of its small size because it's able to fit almost anywhere and its use is so versatile. I am thoroughly satisfied with this purchase.
