• Weight: 9 pounds
• Material: Particle board
• Assembly Time: 5 to 10 minutes

This compact end table can serve many purposes. The two most notable are acting as a nightstand with storage, thanks to its fabric basket that can hold everything from shoes to books, and then, of course, as an end table alongside your sofa. The table’s surface can also hold up to 77 pounds, and the overlapping, U-shaped steel legs ensure this table will never collapse or fall over unless you’re trying to do so.

While plenty of online furniture product pages claim easy assembly, this table seems to have actually delivered. The reviews are filled with customers saying it was a simple process and can take as little as 5 minutes.

In terms of price, this is a fair deal for a simple Target table. The fact that it’s not premium wood or massive in size helps lower the cost, and $40 is pretty standard for such an item.

In recent years, the video game industry has had a trend of focusing on longer, player-driven experiences over shorter, tightly designed packages. Games like Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Crimson Desert, and Dragon’s Dogma 2. That trend, though, might have actually begun over two decades ago with the release of one of the greatest open-world RPGs of all time.

Today, May 1, is the 24th anniversary of the release of The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, a game that would put Bethesda’s name on the map as an open-world game developer and usher in a new era of player choice and customization in video games. While it’s certainly not the first open-world game, it is the one that many players and critics look to for the early blueprints of what would come for these massive video game projects in the future.

Morrowind, like a few other games in The Elder Scrolls series, begins with the player-created character being imprisoned. After making a character and leaving the tutorial area, players are free to go virtually anywhere and do anything they wish whenever they want.

While that concept is commonplace in 2026, it was quite rare in 2002, with most games focusing on smaller experiences. Morrowind stood out from the crowd, and in doing so, would pioneer an era of Bethesda role-playing as a towering juggernaut in the industry.

According to Metacritic, the original PC release of the game is sitting at a metascore of 89. Critics praised the game’s openness, variety of content, customization, and scope, while some felt the game’s bugs and glitches created a feeling of general lack of polish–something that become a frequent point of contention with Bethesda releases in the years that followed.

Since Morrowind‘s release, Bethesda has released The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion and The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, both of which have been re-released several times across console generations. A built-from-the-ground-up remake of Oblivion was released early last year, too.

The future of the series is both clear and mysterious: The Elder Scrolls 6 is in active development and has been for years, but there is no sign of it coming anytime soon. For now, fans may want to take a nostalgic trip back to Morrowind.

MTV is a network that continues to go through changes and is preparing to make a big one that may shock many. Earlier this year, in March, MTV announced that Jersey Shore: Family Vacation was wrapping after nine seasons. This is a bittersweet goodbye for many fans who first met the likes of stars Snooki, Mike, Pauly D, and JWoww back on the original TV show Jersey Shore when it premiered in 2009. 

Now, Jersey Shore aside, it appears MTV is also pulling the plug on another fan-favorite, announcing on May 1 that an always active, and at times salacious, franchise is coming to an end. However, fans can prepare to say goodbye in an interesting way. 

‘Love & Hip Hop’ Ending with Six-Part Special

Paramount (MTV’s parent company) announced in a press release on May 1 that Love & Hip Hop was ending, seemingly implying that all iterations of the show were cancelled. Meaning Love & Hip Hop: New York, Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood, Love & Hip Hop: Miami, and arguably the most popular, Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, will soon be off the airwaves delivering new episodes. That may come as a blow to the millions who have watched the ins and outs of the cast members and their storylines for years. Some true stars originated from the show, most notably Joseline Hernandez, and of course, Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B. 

To bring things to a close for a franchise that started with New York in 2011, MTV is airing a six-part special titled Love & Hip Hop: The Final Chapter later this fall. Paramount says of the special: 

“Love & Hip Hop: The Final Chapter explores the rise of its breakout stars, the business empires they built, the headlines that dominated the conversation, and the franchise’s lasting cultural impact.

“Featuring new interviews with cast members from every city – New York, Atlanta, Hollywood, and Miami – alongside the producers and executives who brought the franchise to life, as well as journalists and cultural critics who have followed its evolution from the beginning, the series offers a comprehensive look at the phenomenon that reshaped reality television and left an undeniable mark on the culture.”

Additionally, it’s worth pointing out that Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta and Love & Hip Hop: Miami, will continue airing their current seasons on Tuesdays on MTV and Wednesdays on BET, respectively. 

Things over at Paramount continue to shift in 2026, and the company continues to grab headlines. With its pending acquisition of Warner Bros., Paramount+ preparing to roll out BET+ properties, the infamous leak of the highly anticipated The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender film earlier this spring, and now this cancellation, Paramount has certainly left TV and movie watchers with a lot to talk about.
