The coffee table storage gives me a place for my tv remote right where I use it, and a couple of placemats and napkins, so I can eat breakfast at the coffee table looking out my window, and there’s room for more. I also love that I can just lift a tabletop cover to use as a desktop to write notes since I’m working from home and don’t want to put a desk in my living room. The assembly couldn’t have been easier. Love that it’s responsibly sourced real wood. Could not be happier with it! And the customer service and Regina’s design services were great!!! Love Burrow!!!
