word of advice, Be careful using Sterlite drawers for furniture because they are not sturdy for holding things on top and besides they are bug and ant houses after a while. in the closet no problem. i used to use mine as a nightstand too but once i got my own place i use it in my storage/utility closet for christmas ornamnts and deco since 2018. i do have a night stand , now 2 as of februart this year. i was uing a table first then i needed drawersi moved the tables in the livingroom. i bought my nightstands from Amazon. they have wonderful furniture.
