This table is lovely, well made and sturdy, and perfect in my narrow spot by my chair. The finish (chocolate cherry) is nice also - I was afraid it would be too dark but it is not. It gives me a chance to display 5 more picture frames of my family! I have a floor lamp right behind it, otherwise, you could easily put a lamp on this table. Perfect height also, right at the level of the arm on my chair. Very pleased with this!
