Definitely a space saver. I needed something narrow that I could use in my apartment to help hold bags off the floor. It was a bit too narrow for that purpose, so I changed it to more of a home office table to hold binders on the bottom and desktop organizers on top. The drawers are not as deep as the entire depth, which is a slight drawback. Very easy to put together. In our new house we use it as a traditional console table behind our couch. I still like that it is a space-saver and I can put seasonal decorations on it.
