I really like this end table and the convenience it affords us, with the extra storage, the beverage-holder tray and the concealed charging station. Plus, it looks good in my transitional-style family room. I needed a very narrow, solid, non-fussy end table for the limited space next to a large arm chair and this fills the bill really well. I chose this over a very similar one that cost a little less because the back on this is perfectly finished, as quality furniture should be.  The back on the other one is just some thin fiberboard with a big hole for the cord - really ugly. If I ever change my furniture placement, I wouldn't be embarrassed to have the back of this one exposed. My only negative is that it's much darker in real life than in the photo. It's a very dark espresso. But it still looks good and works with my room's color palette. It came extremely well packed, fully assembled, and in perfect condition. I'm very glad that I bought it and would recommend it highly.
