Perfect end table/night stand set. I live in a big studio and I have my bed next to my couch. I needed someplace to put my phone, books, glasses, throw down my bag, but I didn't want to disrupt the flow of my living room with a traditional coffee table (I like to exercise and have the space open). These tables are light, sturdy, look good, and work for my needs. Probably not ideal for heavy books or putting up your feet.
