Arts & Crafts Inspired Nightstands

Front view, the lower shelf is placed in groves in the lower stretchers to a allow for seasonal movement.
A pair of walnut nightstands. This is my first attempt at building tables with drawers. The construction is mortise and tennon. The drawer box is 1/2″ baltic birch ply with half-blind dovetails and walnut false drawer face. I would love to have handcut dovetails, but my current skill level doesn’t meet the precision required just yet. The finish is a danish oil with a satin lacquer as the top coat.

Ben, I like your design. I'm planning a pair of night tables and will use a similar plan. Just one question: what is the height from top of table to floor?
Thanks...Kevin H.
