It is an inexpensive piece of furniture, but for the price i paid it was an incredibly good value. i would recommend this for anyone on a tight budget or in their first apartment. it makes a good tv stand or coffee table. the size was perfect to put at the end of a bed, but i do not think it is strong enough to withstand someone sitting on it regularly. we used it as a tv stand and i felt that it was quite strong and sturdy. we had a lot of weight on there, without a single wobble.
