I’d been looking for a solution to just putting things on the arm of our sofa (mobile phone etc) because I kept knocking them on the floor.  This table is ideal for our room as it doesn’t intrude into the room but is ideal for somewhere to put magazines/books I’m reading (rather than stuffing between the arm of the sofa and the cushion, which can’t be good for the sofa!). Very happy with the purchase. Good value too.
