This nightstand was exactly what I was looking for to complete my beige and white bedroom! It is not as white as pictured--more like a semi-opaque off-white paint where you can still see the natural wood underneath, but I like that even better! It's a great piece to mix and match with different fabrics and furniture. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because the drawers were stuck shut, and I really had to wiggle and shake them to pull them out. Definitely more for looks than functionality. I saw other reviewers used soap, so I'll have to give that a try. Overall, a great purchase and considering buying another to complete the look!
