This is a great looking table and perfect for a narrow side table. The only thing that disappointed me was that the description said the back was finished so it would look good wherever it was placed.  However, the back was not the same finish as the rest of the table (not as smooth and glossy) and the perimeter of the back was a much lighter color.  I do not have the back against a wall so it is very noticeable. I am tempted to try to stain the perimeter to match the rest of the table but think that might be hard to match exactly.
