I picked this item up expecting it to be plastic and light.  It was actually surprising solid and substantial.  It is VERY well made and provides the adaptability i was aiming for.  I put the Block Lamp  by Harri koskinen (also purchased on AllModern.com on the lower shelf and the lamp inside this table creates a really cool glow on the surroundings.  This left the top shelf for a phone, iPod dock and a magazine!
