I love the design of this end table series, but the sofa table is my least favorite. I don't love that it has a bar down the middle on the floor, as this makes it more difficult to stage items on the floor under it (like a potted floral arrangement, or in my living room... the cat and dog's toy boxes, etc. I think it's quite sturdy as a sofa-table, but my husband is concerned that it could tip if one of our large cats jumped on it... and wants me to tether it to the back of our couch, which isn't going to happen. Overall, it's quite sturdy, but I wish they would have put the lower support someplace other than down the middle both for aesthetics and for tip-factor.
