I am one of the pickiest people I know and I literally searched for MONTHS (in stores & on line) trying to find the perfect night stands for my taste.  I wanted natural or washed oak pieces or light wood color pieces because of the color scheme in our bedroom, and wanted it to have a modern flair.  I finally came across these and loved the look. We bought them in ivory.  They came, were exactly as pictured, and flawless. Slightly larger than I pictured which was good too. Directions were pictures only but very clear & easy to follow.  Takes 2 people to assemble but was very easy to do.  We are so pleased with these.  They are NOT a set, so we bought 2.
