With a little too much glitter for my taste, which wasn't mentioned in the description, this piece adds personality to my den. Assembly was easy. If placed beside an easy chair, sofa, or love seat, the table is high enough for a cup of coffee or glass of wine , but I wouldn't put much else on top. (Only three suction cups secure the top.) For balance, be sure to center any object (such as a book or picture frame) in the middle.
