We needed a small table/shelf to go in our entryway for mail/keys/etc. As far as size goes, this is perfect. It was easy to put together (or take apart as a couple of pieces I had done backwards, but nothing was permanent!). The only downsize is I didn't realize the L and R shelves were adjustable, so there are holes for those pegs to move. No worries; we'll putty that over since we like the symmetrical look.
