We got this table to go behind a couch (between the couch and the wall) with no intention of anyone ever seeing it. The whole purpose is to place drinks on it. It works great for that purpose. It's a good height and length. I was a little surprised that the marble top is fake. It's some sort of board that has a laminate sheet over it. It doesn't bother me since it's pretty lightweight and looks fine for behind the couch.
