Not sure why this table is called a nightstand. Unfortunately I did not pay close attention to the specs and thought that since it was called a  nightstand it would be a standard size. It is way too tall and to deep to be a nightstand. Even trying to use it next to a couch or as a console table the size does not work.Now just placed it against a wall by a corner till I figure out what to do with it.Too bad since the quality of wood is nice.
