Beautiful accessory, placed against the wall between our recliners and sectional, allowing and open center floor which makes the room seem much larger. We use the larger shelf underneath for shoes and the small cut out shelf in the center makes your remotes easily accessible. Then adding the matching entertainment stand with the attached tall climbing style shelving its the perfect amount of shelf space to display books, knickknacks, or even blue rays, and games. We have a partial room divider wall and this entertainment stand fits just right under our 60in flat screen tv (which is wall mounted several inches above the shelves tallest point) allowing a place for the gaming systems to be placed neatly underneath. It can add a sense of modernism to any room. Love, love, love them both!
