Sturdy piece. Works well for my "spot" in the corner of the sectional. I had to either hold my drink, or put it behind me on on the sofa table. (Unfortunately I would miss periodically and have to go clean up the mess I would make when my glass would hit the floor.) This give me a little table to set my things on. I picked this one mainly because it also had the storage section. My only complaint (and this is just a me personally issue) is that I wish that storage was a little deeper. It is a little to shallow to hold what I would like.
