This end table is the perfect size for the location. You can see it is just the right height for the couch, and is narrow enough (its oval-shaped) to not crowd the walkway.  It was extremely easy to put together, and is very sturdy. I love the grooving on the surface of both the table top and middle shelf as it gives the piece a more rustic feel. The color is complex and adds a richness to the room’s decor. It looks expensive and unique.  I have yet to test it’s waterproofing but will be using coasters to protect its finish.  It’s a great addition to our home.
