I love these night stands.  Everyone was commenting that they were a little darker than what is pictured and I would agree.  But I was hoping for that because I needed something dark to match our bed and so I took a chance and though it's not a perfect match, it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb either.  It is darker, but not too much darker than pictured.  Overall construction and quality is pretty good...not the greatest but not the worst either.  It does LOOK like an expensive, very good quality furniture, but it can get scuffed up easily.  Overall, I'm happy with it and would buy another 2 if I needed too.
