I love the idea of nesting tables, however, had I seen these in "real life" first I probably wouldn't have purchased them. The wood tops look artificial and the largest table is really too large for a side table so I'm only using the medium and small size tables in my living area. The tables are incredibly labor intensive to put together with lots of bolts/screws to screw in with an inadequate tool for the job (Allen wrench). Patience is needed for this assembly!
