I love this side table because it is beautiful. The top is actual stone and the metal is brushed, so it is not shiny. We do not heavily use it. It holds a Sonos speaker on top and our trash bin underneath. I find that it wobbles a bit too easily when I move or place things on it and  I would not recommend it for somewhere it would require heavy use, which is why I deducted a star. But it is the perfect accent table for our bedroom and has transitioned with other varied bedroom furniture well.
