I needed to remodel my guest room. I purchased this night stand, the bed, and dresser. I'm used to shorter furniture, for I am short. I love the height and it matched the bed perfectly!  I am able to place a nice medium table top lamp, a nickel plated mantle clock, and a small vase of flowers. The drawers open with ease and you can see and feel the sturdiness of the wood and just a extremely well made product! I'm not used to the distressed wood, for I am a perfectionist, but I just love this nightstand and its accompanied Panel Bed and Dresser!  I show the room a lot and each time, all I get is how much they LOVE the room!  I have to admit, I LOVE it too!
