I was furnishing my daughter's nursery and needed a very small table for next to the glider, to place bottles, burp cloths and the like. I eventually realized that end tables were not the way to go (too large) and focused my search on phone tables and plant stands. This little table is quite small, as evident in the product's photo, and is the perfect size for what we needed. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on something that I expect will be in our house no longer than a couple of years . . . this was in the range I was looking to spend although if I'm being honest, it's probably a little pricey for what you get. That said, it's not a huge purchase, so not a deal breaker.
