This set of tables was ridiculously low-priced, and we purchased them for a temporary apartment while we have our permanent home constructed.  This is a case of "you get what you pay for" in that they are lightweight, and the top material is quite obviously faux marble (as advertised).  Wayfair also offered a group of dark wood tables with no faux marble top, and we wish we had chosen that set; however, for a 6-month stint (and no plans to entertain guests!), this set will suffice.
