I ordered these in white and they are perfect as bedside tables. Big enough to hold my alarm clock, a small lamp, and my coffee cup. I wanted smaller tables because the more space I have, the more I tend to top it with clutter. The nook is great for books, and I placed a small basket in the bottom for misc items. My only disappointment is the USB ports. I thought they'd be great to have, but the placement is odd. The cables I plug into them stick up from the back and makes it look a little messy. Overall though, I love these and would purchase again.
