I love these types of tables! They are especially handy for use on sectional couches where some folks might be far away from a side table or coffee table. This one is particularly sturdy and sits at a good height above the couch cushions. It doesn't slide under the sofa as much as others I have but it works perfectly. We've found this type of table to be handy in all sorts of situations where you want a work surface but don't want to sit at a dining room table. Highly recommend.
