I bought this thinking it would work as an end table in small guest room but it was too large. Luckily, after spending 30 minutes assembling. not wanting to take it apart to return, I realized it worked perfectly in my living room as a catch all for mail, towels, whatever day to day but also a nice service bar when entertaining!! Very sturdy  good looking - easy to assemble. Made of real rustic wood planks edged in black metal which goes well with my living room decor. Love it!
