It's a great size, both width and height. I use it as an end table, near my lazy-boy chair. I put my drinks, books and even snacks on it. And it sits within inches of my woodstove, and because it's metal, it's not damaged by the heat. When I bought it, they were out of the Copper color, so I ordered the bronze color, but when I got it it looked more brown and I just didn't care for color, so I spray painted it with Rust-Oleum's Hammered Copper spray paint, and it looks amazing. The bottom is felt material, so I don't think I would trust using this outside, but it makes a great inside table. Very glad I bought it.
