I needed a side table for my guest room and I thought this one would work for size, though I wasn't sure about the quality because the price was beyond reasonable. Boy, was I surprised when it arrived! The wood is lovely and the design is spectacular but also wonderfully functional. The little drawer is perfect for the bedside, or I could see putting tv remotes in it in the living room. I like to put a selection of magazines and books out tailored to my guests and the lower level of the table is perfect for that and leaves the top free of clutter. I couldn't be happier with this purchase and it's a piece of furniture that I will be happy to hand down to my children.
