It serves me well as bookcace, place to keep my computer, read and recharge it.  I keep study items on it and pens and paper for drawing. Keep files neatly in small wire baskets.  Bottom shelf is hidden by chair so I store wires, personal items, Kleenex,etc there. Every thing at my fingertips and.can arrange it all to look neatly when company happens by.  My friends all want one like it,  it looks just like it does in picture, sturdy and well made!
