They call this a plant stand but for me its a side table for drinks/books/candle. I needed a small table next to a chair in my newly redecorated MB and this fit the space perfectly! I wanted a metal table to go with my bronze metal mirrors from wayfair as well. Like others have said it does have a little gold in it but I'm OK with that. I also love the lip around the top of table so things can't slide off. Great little table for the price - only needed to score in the legs - feels sturdy. Would recommend!
