I had a problem spot that needed both a table and some storage and this has worked well. It looks nice and the oval shape is a great fit for my tight space. The basket below stores a snuffle mat and food-dispensing toy for my dog. I really have to roll the mat tight to fit but that is the handiest spot for me to keep those items so I'm happy to have a way to contain them. It was not easy to assemble--I had a lot of trouble getting everything aligned--but now that it's put together I'm very happy.
