These tables will be used as drink and snack tables in conjunction with our game table. I liked their height and dimension (tall but not too wide) for that reason. Also that they nest and take up less storage space, and are sturdy/stable, less likely to knock over than pedestals or 3-legged tables. However, I thought the wood tops were much lighter than the photos BUT I was able to use some stain that we’d had for our deck planters and it worked perfectly to darken them to a grey-taupe that matches our flooring! For the price, these are an excellent buy.
