Round Entry Table

so i've been thinking about changing things up when we move in terms of furniture placement. our current night table is a round 30" skirted number (see here). it has always been in a bedroom as a night table but does it have to be? i was thinking of using it in an entry/foyer space.

these are all a bit more grand than my entry will be but whatever. the hubby thinks this idea stinks. what do you think?
