We were looking for a small table to place between two chairs in our family room. This one fit the bill in every way! The wedge shape slots neatly into the space, the height is exactly right for placing a glass or snack plate within easy reach, and the finish is warm and rich. The shelf is a nice addition and, since it's higher than those of similar tables, is easier to access. Made of solid wood, this table is well constructed and easy to assemble. The price is very reasonable and the free shipping and fast delivery make it a real deal!
