I must say that WayFair customer service is the absolute best! We received the table, but 2 of the pieces were damaged and could not be used. Without hesitation, Wayfair sent out another table and our fur baby was able to enjoy his new hideaway. It is a little bigger than I anticipated but it does allow our dog to sprawl out. I like the small shelf where we placed a tray to use as a pseudo-pull-out drawer. The wood is a little 'rubber like'  which makes for easy clean up with a quick wipe. I would recommend this end table if looking for a black side table with a dog sofa niche.
