We had been looking online at these tables for some time now. Some of the reviews we saw about these tables on other sites were not very encouraging but we really liked the style so we bought two of them to see for ourselves. We love them. The design and color are perfect for our living room. The construction is good. The joints could be better but it feels like real wood. They are heavy for their size. They are a little bigger than we thought, but we are very happy with them.
