I got this little table because I wanted a narrow table between my sofa and the wall so I could put some decorative items there. This one fit the bill--narrow enough to not push the sofa way out into the room, and long enough to run most of the length of the sofa. It is a lightweight table, easy to put together, and light enough to move easily where I wanted it. It's lightness means it is a little less sturdy than some other console tables, but it is strong enough for our purposes. Because it is behind our sofa, our cat has discovered the bottom shelf as a place to hide out. It seems to handle her weight well when she runs along the length of it. Very happy with the quality, especially for such a reasonable price.
