I was looking for a small side table to place next to the couch in my living room. It had to be somewhat minimal and not make the corner too busy. 
After reviewing lots of different styles this was chosen. No regrets! I can place my water bottle, a glass, my phone or coffee mug on top. 
In the bottom I place my e-reader, magazines hand lotion or anything which is pending that I need to read like receipts and letters. Great buy for me!
