I decided to use this end table as a night stand in my guest bedroom at our vacation home. The natural finish of this table complements my sea grass headboard and helps me achieve the organic/coastal style I was striving for. The style is simple yet interesting. The open shelves give you space for books, a phone etc. I love that I have storage space without the bulk of drawers since I wanted an airy feel for this bedroom. This table arrived fully assembled for an added bonus.
