I bought this for a small bedroom which needed a very narrow sidetable to accommodate the door opening.  It has made the bedroom much more practical as it can accommodate a lamp, enabling someone in bed to turn on the light easily, as well as books in the lower storage basket.  Although I have other Umbra products, I bought this due to its size.  For something so narrow, it is really stable, probably due to the handle, so there is no danger of the lamp falling.  It has been so useful that I bought one for a relative whose child's bedroom has the same space issue and they are really delighted.
