i bought these 2 end tables to accompany a faux marble lift top table by dorel. the color of the tops are only slightly darker than the coffee table and are at each end of the sofa, so not clase enough to be noticeable. these are a very nice size...narrow enough to not extand our large double reclining sofa by much and longer to accommodate the long arm of the sofa. the dark wood is a perfect match with the leather color of the couch too. looks very rich. the top of the faux marble is good quality, smooth and glossy, not like contact paper or decal. there were a couple of rough edges that i was afraid might eventually peel up so i shaved them down with a razor blade (had to do the same with the coffee table). the shelf underneath is nice to use for magazines or my little trash can. they were very easy to assemble! all pieces fit perfectly and no issues with the packaging. delivery was on time and we are very happy with the purchase.
