I'm living with roomies in an apartment where I needed some tiny end tables, but didn't want to spend much, as I might not be able to renew the least in the next few months. These are not well-made, but if you don't rough house around them or treat them poorly, they should last a few years. Easy to put together. The base pieces are solid wood. The top is something different, but maybe has a veneer on top. They look great, for how little they cost. Love that I have two matching end tables that weren't expensive. We put keys, flowers and candles on ours. Sometimes we use one for a laptop to play music.
