I was looking for something round to hold any size lamp and a coaster, with a  bottom shelf for Kleenex.  It needed to be sofa-arm height or down to two inches below as decorators recommend.  Didn't want it to be too skimpy or too big.  This was just right and is on the generous side.  For some reason I didn't expect the two-tone, 4-sector grain decor but it's perfectly fine.  It doesn't stand out and in certain light, I don't see it at all, and it has to have some kind of design.  It looks and feels of good quality.
