Just what I wanted. Although reasonably priced these feel quite substantial - well made and weighty. I like the slightly rugged "ethnic" finish - the dark wood and the metal detail. I don't know what wood has been used but it's possible is naturally lighter and has been stained to a darker colour? It has a lovely grain and a lovely sheen to it.The tables tidy away neatly when required. We use these for drinks etc. and the smallest as a foot stool too - it is substantial enough. Would really recommend.
