We were originally planning to get a traditionally-shaped, rectangular coffee table but realized that it may make the area feel a little small. So we started looking for circular ones and stumbled upon this! We loved the organic shapes and that it could be nested or pulled apart depending on how we need to use it. People on both ends of the couch could use a table! We love it so far, it's been fun playing with the combinations each day and experimenting with the shapes. Highly recommend!
