The table was the perfect size for my U shaped couch. (I have an L shape sectional with a chaise.) I was so impressed that I ordered the smaller end table after receipt of the coffee table and they look great together in my living room.  Couldn't be happier.  They do have a slight reddish tint - don't expect them to be brown.  The lift tops are really handy and the secret storage underneath hold my coasters.
