I bought two of these for nightstands. I have a barn wood wall so any sort of wood nightstands seem to clash with the barn wood. These worked out just great. They are not as blue as pictured. They do have colour, but it is more of a whitewashed blue/turquoise tone. It is a very simple design, but it seems sturdy and well made. They look adorable as nightstands and I am pleased with my purchase.
