First off, the hidden drawer is *chef's kiss*. I stash my passport, spare cash, and even my secret chocolate stash there—no more midnight raids by my roommate. The lock feels sturdy, and the sliding top is satisfyingly smooth.

The charging station is a game-changer. Two AC outlets + USB ports mean my phone, Kindle, and laptop charger all live here now. No more crawling under the bed to unplug the lamp just to charge my devices. The cord management hole is genius—wires stay tidy instead of looking like a spaghetti monster attacked my bedside.

Assembly took me 45 minutes (with snack breaks). Pro tip: sort screws by size before starting. The instructions aren’t IKEA-level clear, but the diagrams saved me—just squint hard at step 3. The fabric drawers surprised me—they’re not cardboard like some reviews said, but a thick felt material that holds my journals and headphones just fine.

It’s compact but mighty. Fits perfectly next to my twin bed without eating up floor space. The black finish hides dust bunnies like a champ. Only gripe? The plug is straight, not angled—had to rearrange my wall slightly. Still, for the price? 10/10 would recommend for dorms or small apartments.
