I think it is going to be perfect. it was a gift for someone who always has so much stuff near his chair. this way he can be organized and have what he needs. it's great. the baskets and the drawer. especially the magazine racks. can put a few files in there too. the mail slots for bills and pens and notepads. Just have everything at arms reach. and looks good in the living room. very simple lines as to not compete or look bad. I think.i might out a granite top on it just to dress it up . since it is in our living /tv room.
