Great looking pair of tables and very functional, a perfect fit for the smaller apartment we just moved into. Nested together it's a perfect set, or we can pull out the smaller table to accommodate guests. They are well made and sturdy tables, easy to assemble. We also love the contrasting surfaces. The reason we don't give it 5 stars is that the black metal band on the larger table has a 3/4" lip above the surface. This makes it difficult to lay things down, especially larger items like trays, and also prevents putting our feet up when watching TV. Not the smartest design.
