Perfect for what we needed to stand at the side of a sofa. Really pleased with the size and shape. Didn't want to add the castors as they looked a bit ugly for our room, but great to have the option. I have now ordered another one to go by a reclining chair, and it is about £10 cheaper in the sale! Wish we had waited to buy two together, but wasn't sure how good they would look in the room.
