First the pros:  The table is a unique style and the all metal structure makes it look high end in my opinion.  Cons: There are quite a few imperfections in the casting the worst of which makes the tabletop bow down in the center which really becomes noticeable when you place a lamp  on it making it look very crooked and prone to tip.  Also the paint is a metallic dark bronze over a yellow brass letting highlights show through.  I'm debating whether I will spray paint a uniform top coat of the dark bronze.  Still glad I purchased the pair because of their uniqueness and they compliment the room with a metal element!!
