Review on Convenient USB Port Nightstand - Casual Home Warm Brown (New) by Heidi Massine

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pretty but not perfect because of the USB hub's bright blue LED

I bought two of these as bedside tables in our bedroom. Units are good and what I would call heavy whitewash versus hard white paint. They look nice, but you can clearly see the grainy structure of the wood through the white paint. Assembling the unit was easy, although I would suggest using a hex screwdriver based on the type of screwdriver rather than the hex key provided. If you don't have one, the included tool is sufficient for assembly. You will still need a #2 Phillips screwdriver to assemble the bottom shelf. Everything went well and in the end everything looked solid. Judging by other reviews, we were lucky to get units that had USB devices turned on and working properly. It was nice. What was not to be expected is how bright (and poorly placed) the blue LED glows at night. Because we got them to charge cell phones, lighters, etc. at night, the blue LEDs light up our entire bedroom. However, they do next to nothing to illuminate the various USB ports. I plan on removing the hub and either covering or turning off the LED to fix this issue. I would add a 5th run if the LED could be easily turned off/removed.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Great
