I was so excited to get this nightstand but when I received it it was much shorter than I anticipated. I was hoping it would come at least to the top of my mattress (picture shows it next to bed without boxspring which I just put back) but it doesn't. It is almost like it is made for a child's room. The quality and design are top notch which is why I gave it a 4 start rating. I love the extra storage and it is made from hardwood which really makes a difference.
