This is a perfect piece for a tight space. It is in our study and holds envelopes, paper, stationery/greeting cards. The nice thing about this piece is that it arrived completely assembled and in perfect condition. I highly recommend it. It is a multi-functional piece - would also be great for bathroom storage (washcloths, towels, toiletries), guest bedroom, end table, etc. One thing to note is that hat my piece is a dark cherry color (much darker than the product picture on the website).
