This was the perfect accent piece for our living room in a Craftsman style house. The height is perfect for sofa side, the stretcher works perfectly for perching a laptop or a book in progress, and the small drawer makes TV remotes vanish but keeps them handy so the kids don't put them between the sofa cushions. Build quality and assembly are both great. The tone of the wood is a warm reddish oak that harmonizes with our existing TV furniture in mission style.
