Love this table!  We have a small entryway and wanted a little something to spruce it up that wouldn't take up too much space.  It's perfect for small spaces.  The top and lower shelf are perfect for displaying colorful nick-nacks.  It was a little harder to put together than I expected, but my husband and I (neither of whom are very inclined toward DIY projects) were able to figure it out.  It took us about 45 minutes.  Once put together, it looks like a very nice, expensive piece of furniture.
