I was on the hunt for bedside tables that won't allow *some* people to clutter the top and fill the drawers with junk and detritus from pockets. I was also looking for a lamp. I found these!Feature by feature: The top shelf has a rest that holds a cell phone, tablet or other slim device, along with two USB ports (standard and whatever that new one is called), plus an outlet. Handy-dandy, with no room for clutter. The middle shelf is just the right size for a water bottle, lotion and maybe some small items--again, not much opportunity for clutter. The bottom shelf is at floor level, so maybe a decorative plant or a stack of books. Or leave it clear. (Mr. Clutter set his C-Pap machine on the second shelf--perfect fit.)The lamp itself has a plastic/paper surround that diffuses light nicely. It looks very nice. I wouldn't say it's good for nighttime reading, but small reading lamps are inexpensive and easy to find. So no big deal. I really like that it has a chain pull to turn on and off. Easy to find and reach from bed, even in the dark.Assembly was a breeze. It's put together nicely. Mr. Clutter put together one; I put together the other. The instructions are easy to follow.I have a small issue with the stability. It's not exactly top-heavy, but I wouldn't have it around rowdy children or pets. Not that it falling would cause serious harm, since it's not heavy, but it could be damaged. So make sure it's placed on flat carpet or an even floor.

Easy to assemble quick to get together but as I put it together.I realize this top ring is cracked. Reaching out to hopefully get a replacement cap only, as I don't want to return the whole project obviously. I may go to Lowe's and see if I can't find something but I don't know how the threading will match. I love the look form and function.

Getting the negatives out of the way firstCONS1. Assembly was rough at first! Took me about an hour. The instructions are 1pg, double sided and would say things like “connect (a) to (c) but make sure (t), (r), and (f) are conjoined in holy matrimony first.” (Exaggerated for humor obv). But yeah, I’d have to flip the page every time I wanted to see what part was associated with which letter and then lose my place in the instructions. And the one picture showing the assembly didn’t label every part, so it was confusing. I ended up tossing the instructions and winging it. I THINK I did it right...the light does turn on haha!2. You do not NEED tools but I found the screws to be a bit difficult to twist in after a bit so I used pliers to get a better grip on them...because telling the screws to “get a grip” wasn’t working out in my favor3. Not AS sturdy as I’d have hoped but it’s okay, I don’t plan on using it as a step stool so it’ll do for my needs4. Shoulda read the specifications more thoroughly...the plug is 2-pronged, not 3. Not sure if lamps can’t have 3-prong plugs. I may know the electric slide, but I don’t know electrical engineering. Just be aware that you can’t use the charging station for a 3-prong plugNow onto thePROS1. Fits my needs perfectly! I wanted a slim nightstand with lighting and charging, this hits all those needs2. The shade cover is perfect, not too bright, not too dark3. The charging station works perfectly, no issues4. I installed a smart bulb to connect to my Alexa and it’s been perfect...no issue with it conflicting with the charging station or anything (not that it should conflict, just saying)I’m actually now considering rearranging all the furniture in my room so that I have an excuse to buy a 2nd one for the other side of my bed. Because, you know, adults are supposed to have 2 nightstands according to the “how to look like you’re an adult while still holding on to the vestiges of your childhood” rule book hahaha
