I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of this table given its price point.  I would recommend this if you need a smaller piece given your space requirements.  The table is short, so make sure you understand that.  It is a hardwood which is a plus and took 15 mins to assemble.  Putting the shelf in was a bit tricky and required a second set of hands but went quickly.  There was a warning on the table stating the table contains chemicals that are known to cause birth defects in California.  Wouldn't worry too much about this, but my wife is 8 months pregnant which gave us pause.  Given the price, I would recommend this table.
