I bought this end table with the intent of using it as a nightstand and I just turned it so it looked like more of a nightstand. The price was awesome. If it was any more expensive, then I honestly wouldn’t have bought it. I know it’s just particle board covered in paper but for the price, I didn’t expect any better quality. This piece isn’t meant for everyone, it’s more of a good furniture piece if it’s not in a high traffic area. But overall, the nightstand matches the dining table as well so I was able to create a uniform look in my house. I would recommend this side table (nightstand) as long as you don’t intend to put drinks on it without coasters or super hot plates otherwise you will ruin the covering on it! Just to be cautious about that.
