love the overall look of this product, the wood stain is a bit darker than the picture leads to believe, but I was actually hoping for that, so it's a very very good thing, it's not as "red" as it appears, but more of a nice dark brownish with a hint of red tint when looking at it at an angle or with bright light hiting it, it's just perfect for my decor as it matches my existing bedroom stuff amazingly well. The extra for the charging thing may not be worth the extra expense if you think about it, it's just a three outlet power strip in the drawer but it does hide my lamp, clock and phone charging cords well with only one cord to my outlet, so in my case worth it, but I'm sure the standard nightstand will fit most just fine.
