This nightstand has a couple of issues: It has no drawer. When you want to access your items you open the door to a top self and a lower storage area.  I have learned to adapt, but on my husband's side - not so easy. HIS door opens the same hinge side as my door. That means it opens into his bed, so he can't easily access the inside contents when in bed. Poor design. It should have optional hinging, as does a refrigerator door. Yep.  But it's stunning to look at. I would buy it again: beauty over function, I guess.
