This table is perfect as a side table next to my husbands chair. The drawers are pretty roomy and they slide nicely. The magazine opening in the back, is nice to put whatever back there. It's a great height and looks good in our space. Very happy with purchase and would buy another. Be aware: there are a ton of pieces and it looks daunting when you open the box. However, he was able to put it together in about an hour. So it really wasn't that bad after all.
