I ordered two of these nesting tables sets - one for our family room and one for a covered outdoor porch area. I split the two on the porch to service two seating areas and really enjoy the flexibility of the nesting. The inside tables are compact enough yet allow for the shorter table to be moved around the room as needed. I'll often slide the small table beside the couch if I'm laying on it reading or watching tv, then I can keep a drink, snack, book, or remote right beside me. The dark pewter color is beautiful.
