These are the perfect size for what I needed between my two upholstered chairs. The color is black, but it does have some light distressing accents in a gold/bronze color. As some other reviewers have mentioned there are tiny suction cups that the glass sits on. I don't find them to be ugly, and you really don't notice them if you are planning on having something on the tables. I'm so glad I found these! I was going to buy these almost exact tables for $250 from another large store that ends in "Barn". They were easy to put together too. I used an electric drill to make the process faster, but they are certainly just as easy without just a bit slower.
