I struggle with the need to have stuff visible (books, diaries, remotes etc) so that I remember to either deal with them/use them, or get rid of them, while also needing uncluttered table space by the sofa for eating/entertaining. This table solves the problem in a stylish way!  It’s a great piece, and the sale price is reasonable. It is a bit large for my small sectional sofa w/ chaise, but the size would have been perfect for my old mid-century modern apartment-size sofa.
