I bought this for a small space next to my loveseat. It is the perfect size to hold a drink and the remotes or a drink and a small plate. The table is one solid piece of wood, which means no assembly! A huge plus, and it means the table is solid with no wiggling. The table sits slightly higher than the arm of the loveseat which is good for setting stuff on. 

The finish is a warm honey color with natural variations in tone from the wood. The finish is not sealed, so if you plan on putting a glass on it without a coaster I would recommend putting a few coats of polyurethane on the top.
