These nightstands are lovely. They are definitely more of a gray color which, after reading the other reviews, is why I bought them and what I was looking for. I had purchased the Marion Panel Headboard a few months ago and it is so beautiful that I wanted nightstands that would not draw the eye away from it. Yet, these nightstands cannot go unnoticed they are simple with an architectural curve that gives off the essence of quality pieces. They are also BIG which is not exactly what I was looking for but I like everything together so much that I rearranged my bedroom to accommodate the look. I have a big closet so got rid of a pretty big dresser and was able to fit everything from the dresser into 5 of the 6 drawers-I still have some empty space. They are tall so my next purchase will be a thicker box spring to make the bed higher and give the room a better and more balanced appearance.
