Very practical and nice, simple style.  I love having the shelf below, it holds plenty of books and magazines, but is high enough that you can comfortably stretch out your feet below if you have this table placed in front of a couch, and the little pull out shelf is actually super handy. It allows you to set a drink/remote/book close at hand and then tucks away to leave space again between the table and couch. It has been nice to have with a baby-toddler since there are no corners for the wobbly walking phase.
