These nightstands turned out to be exactly what they look like in the picture and they were perfect for my bedroom. I like the convenience of having two drawers and the opening for books. And they were reasonably priced. My only complaint would be the assembly. The instructions were not clear cut and it took over an hour to assemble one of the night stands I bought two. The nightstand itself came in a heavy box that needed to be taken upstairs too. If you do not have a power drill or the skills needed to assemble complicated furniture, then this is not for you. Other than that, they are great!
