Needed a small table to hold lamp, phone, and to put beverages on. The size is perfect. The simplicity of design and old time feel is just what I was looking for. Assembly was straightforward. Just one glitch: was not able to put in one of the two screws on the two legs by the drawer because the drawer was already in place. It seems steady enough without them, though. I am very pleased with the quality, workmanship and look of this side table.
