I wanted a narrow shelf unit next to my recliner so I bought something very similar at Camping World about a year ago for $99. I had some reinforced areas on the wall in the right places so I just screwed it to the wall and tossed the fold-out table, since I really did not need or want it.
Now, I have shelves to stuff books and other odds and ends that are always in reach. Also, I put in a small open box in part of the second shelf and use it to stuff all sorts of small things like nail clippers and such. I also keep my small binoculars on the top shelf. Very handy.
