This is an awesome addition to the most popular space in our busy family home.  While the house is rather large, I like to keep the family computer in the kitchen/living area so I can monitor it's use.  I needed something to fit the busy space where it was intended to go, be unobtrusive and work with our modern/transitional look.  Oh, and it had to stand up to use and abuse by 3 kids and my office work.  Hands down it's done the job. I've had this for several months now and it's in great condition.  It wipes clean with a damp cloth very easily, shows signs of minor distress on top edges but that's par for the course.  For the price, this is an excellent little piece of furniture!
