I bought a pair of 60s style retro lamps for like $10 dollar. I know they were cheap but I like them anyway and couldn't find end tables big and sturdy enough to support them so I bought 2 of these coffee tables to use as end tables. Great choice I love them. I didn't put the legs on because I have really big dogs that jump on and off the couch and I'm afraid if the tables were higher the lamps would be knocked down.
