Its perfect just what I needed. I find it great for putting my feet up and resting or having a nap. The lift top is where I store my currently active fodders  and documents. The remotes for the TV, the Bose, the DVD player, and the IPAD  are stored there when not in use. The black color matches the décor and the covering is enhanced by sewing. I put one inch plastic swivel casters on the 4 feet so it rolls nicely on our carpet.
