The end table where I sit on the sofa was too big. At one time, I had a table lamp on it, so it was fine. But I got a beautiful floor lamp so the light would come over my shoulder. The hunt for the right size and style end table was long and exhausting. It had to be the right size, color, have a shelf and a drawer. Once I found this one, I knew it was it. My daughter assembled it and I heard some grumbling, so I guess it was not easy to do (she's very accomplished at this sort of stuff). But other than that, I have no complaints at all!
