I ordered this side table because I loved its midcentury modern look. It is sturdy material and wasn't difficult to put together, you just have to screw the legs in with a screw, washers and a tiny Allen wrench (three screws per leg). Even though the dimensions are listed, it was taller than I imagined it to be; it's definitely a statement side table, and the inside is a great place to put art and coffee table books. The espresso color is much darker than how it appears on the site; I would say it's more a chocolate brown. Still think it looks good though. I took off a star because there were quite a few scratches/paint on it, and it's noticeable. You can also see the glue rather clearly on the inside wood. But overall, happy with the purchase and look forward to styling it when I get more furniture. For now, it's sturdy enough to hold my large vintage table lamp.
