I use this as a dressing table. It's absolutely perfect for this. There's plenty of space to stash away all my makeup, hair products, etc. I've had this table for a year now and it's held up very well with daily use. It's reassuringly heavy (something to bear in mind while assembling the top to the main part of the table when it arrives) and sturdy as well as being really quite pretty. Overall, I'm very happy with this table.
