I've spent hours looking for a table to go next to a bedroom chair. I would have preferred plain stone instead of marble, but this table is exactly the right size and shape plus the gold metal matches the hardware in the room. (The metal is a uniform matte gold...not yellow or artificially aged). It took about 5 min to assemble and is solid, not wobbly. It looks great in the room and I'm sure I wouldn't have been more satisfied with the $480 table I was looking at.
