This was perfect for our living room in a 500 square foot shotgun-style apartment. The size and portability of this piece was great for our needs as a TV stand and to hold our board games, extra books, and sewing supplies. The construction is sturdy, and the wooden shelves give us the flexibility of upgrading the stand at a later time when we own a home. The metal frame is a great investment as this price point given the future we have in mind for the stand.
