I needed an end table large enough to hold a small lamp, but not so wide it blocked the door to my deck~which my other end table did. I chose to buy this ready-to-finish so that I could get close to the color of the other end table; I know,
matchy-matchy, but I think it looks better in my small living room!
   I would tell anyone who's considering this to MEASURE first.  This was both a perfect height next to my sofa and a good width for the small area on one side of the sofa. If you want an average-sized end table, this may be too small.
I think it could also be used as a nightstand in a narrow space, and finished in your own color/style.
   It arrived quickly, with the hardware and drawer knob in a red bag securely fastened inside. (Appreciated by one who has received items with the hardware missing or damaged! : )
