I bought 2 of these to serve as end tables for the sectional in my living room.  I really wanted something to store kid toys.  My toddler is able to open the baskets and get her stuff out.  They are lightweight and came fully assembled.  I have 2 complaints.  1 - it isn't finished on the back so I had to put it sideways at the end of the couch that is in the middle of the room.  Otherwise it looked really silly.  2 - there aren't actually shelves under the baskets.  It's kind of open, making it a little annoying to pull the baskets in and out.  You could not use this without the baskets.  Otherwise the price was right, the shipping was free and I now have matching lightweight endtables that are awesome storage.
