These nightstands were everything I hoped for and more! I was searching for black nightstand that had both a drawer or cabinet for storage, as well as an open shelf I could use for decor. While this nightstand is not actually black (it’s espresso), it’s dark enough where you would be none the wiser if you didn’t already know it wasn’t actually black. The drawers have a soft-close feature which was a pleasant surprise to discover. It also feels like a relatively sturdy piece. Overall I am thrilled with this piece!
