I have two!  We put our first table behind the couch.  Paired with the stools, it's perfect for family "Taco Tuesday" in front of the TV.  It's such a great length and height I ordered a second to go outside under my TV because I couldn't find a console table big enough!  It really anchors the space and gives just enough room for some accents but isn't so wide it blocks space.  Try it, we love it!
