I am using these farmhouse end tables as nightstands. They are very versatile and would go great as end tables by a couch too, or wherever you wanted to use these. These tables are SO CUTE. I was pleasantly surprised. The video that Wayfair has posted on the item listing is what sold me, with the girl describing them. It also helped me decide to go with the two tone. The girl in the video was right, the two tone is stunning and goes with everything. These are such a perfect size, nice and big but not too big or overwhelming, large surface area for things on top, and so roomy for lots of storage space! Putting them together was not a quick task for my very handy husband who works construction. We would say it took him around 2ish hours to just get one together. Not difficult, just time consuming and a lot of pieces. I noticed during the process that these tables would also still be cute even with the doors off, if you want a more simple or less of a farmhouse look. My husband really likes the outlet on the table surface for convenience. My ONLY complaint on these is the obvious...these days, everything has that paper wrap finish. I was not expecting these to be real wood or anything, but both the top and base are paper wrapped it seems. That being said, it is not super obvious and they don't look cheap. They honestly look so pretty and I am very happy with them. The tables are fairly sturdy and serve their purpose. I don't see them getting much wear and tear anyway since they're nightstands. I would definitely recommend these and I think the price is fair too, especially since you're getting two. I included pictures with my light off and light on to see coloring of the top in natural light vs warm light, hoping it helps someone.
