Let me start by saying these nightstands are a solid choice if you're looking for a blend of farmhouse charm and modern functionality. The weathered oak finish adds a cozy, rustic vibe to my bedroom, though I noticed the color leans more red than the photos suggest – something to keep in mind if you're matching existing furniture.
The USB charging station is a game-changer! No more crawling behind furniture to plug in devices. I keep my phone, tablet, and smartwatch charging here overnight, and the two AC outlets are perfect for lamps or other electronics. The surface is indeed waterproof – a spilled glass of water wiped right off without leaving a mark.
Storage is where these really shine. The two drawers (with surprisingly smooth metal glides) hold all my bedtime essentials – books, remotes, sleep masks. The open shelf underneath is perfect for larger items like my journal or a small basket. At 18" wide, they fit perfectly in my small bedroom without feeling cramped.
Assembly was... an adventure. The instructions are clear, but there are a LOT of screws. Pro tip: use a drill (carefully!) to save your hands and time. It took me about 90 minutes per nightstand working alone. The drawers do tend to slide open too easily – I added some small adhesive bumpers to create friction, which solved the problem.
For the price, the quality is impressive. The engineered wood feels sturdy, and the 2" thick legs provide excellent stability. They've held up well to daily use for several months now. While not perfect (I wish the drawer issue was addressed), they offer great value and functionality for anyone needing compact, attractive storage with charging convenience.
