I have been looking for end tables for a long time and I haven't wanted to spend the money on expensive furniture store end tables. The end tables are a great alternative. The color looks the same as pictured online and they match my tv stand perfectly, both in style and color. Assembly was a bit difficult because the wooden dowels were hard to insert, but once put together the tables are very sturdy and a nice size. I would have given them 5 stars except that there were some light scratches and dings on one of the tables - not enough damage to return them but enough that I wasn't completely happy. Also, the top is solid wood, but it has some grooves in it that make it a less than smooth finish. I plan to cover the tables with glass to protect the finish. All in all I am satisfied with the quality and value of these tables given the low cost.
