I purchased this nightstand to go in my son's room, hoping to match his crib and dresser.  It looks really nice.  It doesn't have the hint of red that his other furniture has, but it's a lovely dark wood and it blends.  The drawer opens and closes easily, and the shelves will be nice for easy storage of books, etc.  It's slightly smaller than I anticipated, but once we put it in the room, I decided it'll be perfect.  My husband appreciated that there was no assembly required, and shipping was easy and faster than anticipated.
