Functional in small spaces or large ones when your coffee table is too far away since you have the recliners open.  The first time we opened the recliner, we had the table at the edge of the reclining part of the sofa and did not realize it, so it tipped the table over but once you place it in the middle, it is out of the way and functional.  It would work better for us if the space under our couch was open, then the base of the table would slide right under the couch, but our sofa has a solid bottom, but it is still close enough to the couch for what we need.

Pros: easy to assemble
