There are a lot of "C" style sofa/chair tables out there...very convenient and don't take up space.  But I found it's very hard to find this style table in light colors.  Practically all are in dark wood or dark metal bases with dark tops.  In the desert it's all about the wonderful light and keeping everything open and airy.  This fits that need perfectly, is a good size, height and has enough weight to make it very stable.
