I bought these nightstands in Walnut, and they are beautiful.  The wood grain is visible through the medium pecan color finish, and the quality is exceptional.  Each table is solid, well crafted, and the drawers open and close smoothly and evenly.  Delivery was prompt and the installation went very well.  The design and functionality of the pieces surpassed my expectations.  There is an opening at the back of the first shelf that allows for plugging in electronic devices with wires hanging everywhere.  Keeps them secure as well.

And no, I did not receive any compensation for writing this.  :)  The night tables really are that good.  They would work well in a living room given the size and quality.  This is the first review I have ever written.
