These pieces work great in my small apartment. The lack of 5 stars is simply because of the assembly process and how the screws can easily be over tightened which would strip the hole. Really, it meant slowing down to attach the legs. Otherwise I am completely happy with the purchase! I love the graybrown wood matched with the metal legs. It fits the modern look but brings in some natural wood. The tables are sturdy and look great with a basket underneath.
