I ordered two of these to use as nightstands and they are great quality stands. They are real wood so I think will hold up nicely. I liked that they were unfinished so I could finish them how I wanted. I chose to paint them, and my only recommendation would be if you are looking for a perfect paint finish it would be helpful to do a light sanding first help the paint go on even. There were a few spots where the paint was slightly transparent. I wanted mine to look slightly distressed and have some of the wood showing through so this worked for my advantage. I also only did one coat of paint.    

Also just as a side note, a lot of the holes to attach the top and other parts are not pre-drilled so I was little unsure on assembling the first one but did the second one much faster.
