Terrific end table! Being a pedestal, it cannot support a lot of weight but it is great for a cup of coffee of glass of wine. Could be used for something heavier, like a plant, if centred. Colour and patina is as shown in all the bit first photo, which shows the copper finish very reflective. It is more muted as in the subsequent photos. I have copper accents throughout my great room and this was a lovely addition to that theme.
