These tables look better in person than the website photos! They are rustic but quality built and sturdy. I got two of these, and each shelf varies in look (the wood pieces) greatly from the other, and each table from the other, and the overall look is gorgeous! You can tell these are hand constructed, it gives them a charming appearance. They look as if some of the wood was shaved and trimmed by hand. They arrived very well packaged and completely put together.  I would highly recommend these rustic end tables, they have a surprising amount of sophistication to them when seen in person - I love them!
