Oh, these are so cute. I love them for any room because they seem to be style neutral. I purchased white models. I think that the sleek form is nice enough for the living room. The plastic is strong and the finish is a semi matte giving the illusion that they are not plastic. More importantly, they are of a simple total mold thus they can be washed and sanitized easily. There are no crevices to collect pathogenic microbes. Visitors get a kick out of the "smoke."
