For the price these are a great value.  I have them in my den on each side of the couch, using them as end tables.  They are just wide enough to have a full size lamp set on them.  The wood and finish aren't top quality and the finish on one arrived a little marred, but not a big enough deal to warrant returning them and for my basement den they were fine.  I had been looking for some sort of end table that was this height for a while, it doesn't set too low or too high in relation to the arms of my couch.
