It's rare that I give any rating over 3 or 4, but this might be one of the only times when I've made an online furniture purchase and gotten exactly what I was hoping for. I ordered two of these tables to use as nightstands for my bed. They come up just an inch or two over the top of my bed, but I have a low profile frame and boxspring for my king bed, so I'm assuming that the height will be close to level for people with an average height bed, and maybe an inch or two lower if you have a high bed. The tables are sturdy and look pretty much like what the picture shows. They are a brushed nickel/silver in appearance and do have a very nice shine without being too reflective or bright. The only assembly required was to screw the top onto the base, which took seconds to do and everything went in securely. There are no parts to fall off or get damaged and the packaging was more than adequate to keep my tables safe and sound through delivery. Highly recommend!
