First off, let me say this nightstand is a lifesaver for small spaces. The narrow design (12" wide) fits perfectly between my bed and the wall where most nightstands would fail. No more stubbing my toes on bulky furniture!

The sliding shelf is genius—I keep my current book and journal there, and just push it back when I want a cleaner look. The hole for charging cables? Absolute game-changer. No more cords dangling everywhere.

While the white finish looks crisp in my boho bedroom, I did notice some minor chips upon unboxing (nothing a quick touch-up couldn’t fix). The drawers are shallow—great for sleep masks and earplugs, but don’t expect to store thick books vertically.

What surprised me most? The sturdiness. This isn’t flimsy particle board—when I accidentally knocked my water bottle over, the raised edges actually prevented a spill disaster. Pro tip: The unfinished back means it’s best placed against a wall.

At this price point, I wish the craftsmanship was more refined (drawer alignment could be better), but for a no-assembly-required, space-saving solution, it’s become my go-to recommendation for apartment dwellers.
