These side tables arrived promptly and were well packaged. They are attractive pieces, although the color is redder in real life which doesn’t work with our space. The drawers open well, but there is not metal slide. Wooden rails are mounted to the inside of the piece and the sides of the drawers are routed to slide over them. The back is finished but there are small gaps along the sides. Another reason it doesn’t quite work for us. Our sofa floats on the room, so we need tables that can do that as well. We may try to use them in our sunroom instead.
