The table is small but attractive. I have it placed horizontally against a wall. As another reviewer pointed out there is a noticeable notch underneath the bottom shelf.  Worse, the paint or stain was rubbed off on one side of the upper shelf.  I am not sure how this passed through QA.  Too much of a hassle to return so I just turned the table so that that end is away from the viewer.  Still, for the money I do like this table and maybe I can find some way to touch it up.
