I bought 2 of these to use as nightstands in my guestroom, and they are perfect!!!
I didn't put the backs on them so they would just be open to the wall behind them, but I did keep them just in case I change my mind. ;)
Assembly was very easy, and I really like that they came with little reversible screwdrivers, although I have my own tools.. I guess since they are made for dorms, they figured college students probably wouldn't have tools on hand. Pretty thoughtful..
