I have looked for months for occasional tables that I like and could not find anything in the stores or online. I ran across these tables and finally decided to purchase and have one delivered (in cherry finish) before I decided to buy the complete set. These tables are beautifully made. They are very sturdy. I was thinking the bottom shelf would be some kind of cheap board but was extremely surprised to find it made of the same materials of the entire table and extremely stable. I have since bought the end table and the sofa table is on its way. Next I am buying the coffee table...LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these tables and am thrilled I settled on these!!

Pros: Extremely easy to put together. They come partially assembled...you only need to put the legs and bottom shelf on...took less than half an hour.
Cons: None...except waiting for the rest to arrive.
