I was looking for a narrow nightstand that would fit around a large vent and this fit the bill perfectly.  This mix of natural and metal features is fantastic.  The instructions were hilarious if not a bit patronizing, also overkill at 8 pages long.  The drawer is very small.  You would have the depth of a notebook ~ 8.5" but about 13 or so wide and not enough height for a shoe-box but enough for a Rubik's cube.  It sits on the low side well suited for a platform bed.  It was perfect for what I need.  I got two!
