While it is not the most attractive item in my den, it serves the purpose. I like to keep my glasses, remotes for tv, heater, fan, pens, post-its near my recliner and couch, but there was no side table. I used the arms of the sofa to store my stuff, but either the dogs or my husband would knock them down, getting broken and misplaced. The organizer fits perfectly on my sofa arm, and the top tray holds all of my little accessories. It is a good purchase.
