Look at the measurements, not just the pictures!

While I like this fine and it works fine for the room, it’s much larger than I expected. Based on the product photos, it looks rectangular, but it’s definitely a square it’s just as deep as it is wide. As a nightstand, that amount of surface space simply isn’t necessary. They could even have just made the top half the size, giving better access to the center shelf, and it wouldn’t look so blocky. It’s simply too much nightstand.
