These end tables are smaller and perfect when you don't want them to overwhelm a room. They are very easy to assemble, although I did have to bend out some brackets to make the sides and back fit together. The ones i got are slightly darker than medium oak, but matched existing furniture very well. They are sturdy and heavy. You will want to use smaller lamps on them as the top surface isn't very large. Ample storage inside with an adjustable shelf.
