This nightstand has it all -- smart design and understated color with practical storage elements. Two flat surfaces can serve as shelves for books or incidentals, and the drawers will accommodate larger items. The unit in the black color option is lightweight thanks to its suede-like fabric drawer fronts, and it has an anti-tip kit to provide for safer use. I chose this nightstand for its looks and size. It  fits nicely in a corner of my bedroom and has the youthful style that I wanted.
