Modern design and 2 convenient USB ports that you can screw into the back of the nightstand! Size is neither too big nor too small for a bedroom in an apartment - it's working out great. My only gripe about this is that the veneer/finish feels slick like vinyl and takes away from the quality a little bit. But we're keeping it because it's not that big of a deal, especially considering that it's otherwise a sturdy, stable nightstand.
