This is the sister piece to the coffee table from the same collection. It is an amazing piece in its own right & solid, solid , solid textured heavy wood. Obviously being used as a tv stand. For me I wish it came it a longer option or with a triangular version for a corner option. The top piece is the widest so it works. It is a nice counterbalance to the lower table and helps unite the room. But because it is quite heavy with that top piece being bigger if it was being used away from a wall where I could walk into it I would worry about someone pulling it over. I would secure it to a wall if I had kids, it looks like it would be way too fun to climb. Only because I would have been the kid to do that!
