I was looking for a side table to where I sit and do my internet reading, and my personal and professional stuff. Was looking for the just right thing for months. Like y'all, had my needs.This side table knocked me out the first time I came upon it on Amazon. It has an "Eames" mid century vibe. AND, it is beautiful quality glass---not scratchy/foggy prone, cheap looking acrylic.The way this is designed, you can put your laptop on the shelf below the surface, and bring it out when you need it. OR, as I have done, you can show off a great "coffee table" book cover---make it about art you can change whenever you want. Or both. When I have people over I just slide my laptop on top of the book du jour I have chosen to shine through, and have an end table usable for drinks and candles or whatever.Then there is the bottom part of this table, which I have used to put a great looking crisp file thing, stacked on top of vintage magazines I love. ALL at my fingertips. So practical for what I need, so allowing for what I love.The experience of buying this was flawless. Came soon, and protected SMARTLY. IOW, no tiresome peanuts and difficulty in unpacking. I was amazed at the ease of unpacking this table---whole process was as sleek and clean as this table is.I hesitate to say how freaking great of a value this is, for fear that kind of feedback will result in a higher price for those who have not bought this yet. BUT, yeah, it's a really great value for what you get, so if you're considering this, DO IT NOW!
