This side table was just what we needed. I was looking for a shelf option and also large enough to eventually hold a lamp and of course, my coffee mug. Once assembled it’s quite sturdy and looks nice in the space. When examined up close you can see some imperfections in the black coating but I’m not expecting anyone to get down and inspect it. I like that it adds storage without being a hefty piece of furniture. We have a large wooden console with legs so this worked well with the room.  I’d like to see it a tad less expensive. It’s really just a thin metal frame with a glass insert.
