I ordered this piece to set inside my  entrance door.  I needed a place to set my purse and posessions on when I can in the  door.  It fits my needs very well.  I love the fact that my keys and things are still by the door when I am ready to leave again.  Living in  a small condo it helps to  utilize a small space for organization.  I plan to buy another and actually use it for a plant stand as it very sturdy and attractive.  The quality and finish are very good.  I think I will  find various uses for this beautiful piece.  I am enjoying it and I think that it will have a lasting quality for many years to come.
