this tier table  is perfect for the space  I wanted it for.  It is in my small hallway that can be dark as there are no windows.
and since hallway is rather limited in size I needed "something" that would fit but not overwhelm the area.  I placed several candles in lanterns on two of the shelves (the kind that go on automatically for several hours) and the effect is just what I wanted it to be.  The shelf is only 24" wide but it is sturdy  and could easily be used as a  bedside table or an end table next to a chair or sofa.  The only disappointment was that it was advertised as fully assembled and it was not.
