I bought two nightstands for a bed my husband had before we were married.  I was a little nervous that the wood wouldn't match the bed, but it was a perfect match.  We absolutely love the night stands - they add an elegance to our bedroom that wasn't there before and we plan on purchasing the matching dressers soon.  The drawers add extra space for items, and they are sturdy and pretty deep.  I have quite a few books that I like to keep by the bedside and there is more than enough space for them in the drawers.  These night stands are perfect.
