I love these! I first bought one, liked it so much, I purchased 3 more! They were easy to put together. Each table is sturdy, and has so much room. There is good space between the top and the shelf. The bottom is  spacious, and holds books on top of each other, or upright side-by-side. I have had no problems with needing more room. I will not hesitate to purchase additional ones for rooms other than my living room as needed.  The pictures do not do the table justice, but hopefully it shows the space on top and shelf under it.  I really like the way they look as well....
