This is a very useful side table and I have found the storage compartment great for keeping reading glasses, pens etc.  The only reservation I have is that the table is listed as "light oak" when it is much more like the colour shown in the picture on the website - much more of an orange tinge than suggested by the description.  It is easy to make up and seems well made and sturdy.  This is the first item I bought from Wayfair but will almost certainly not be the last!
