We bought this to add a little something more to our living room.  We had a lot of ikea furniture from our apartment days and wanted to upgrade.  This piece came so quickly and in great condition.  It was so easy to put together as well.  It is short though, so if you have tall ceilings you might want to look into something taller, but it is perfect for our home.  We have actually thought about buying a second we love it so much.
