Bought this to use as a nightstand and it works perfectly. Love the storage space and 2 throw pillows fit on the bottom shelf. Hold so much while being a compact piece of furniture. The color is a nice green, not too bright but not too dull. And happily it's not very "distressed" looking. So easy to unpack and put together - just screw on the legs and it's done! A great purchase. Might have to buy another color for the living room :)
