The tables I received are of very poor quality. They are not really gold metal. They are spray painted gold, with a dull silver-gold color underneath the paint, which is obvious since they didn't even bother to paint them evenly and there are big areas of non-painted, ugly metal showing through. Maybe this was done on purpose to make them look more vintage or something, but in reality, they look like they were salvaged from the garbage. Not pleased, it is not likely I will purchase furniture from this manufacturer again. The tables are also made in China; I personally have found that furniture made in China is not consistent in its quality.
