I was hesitant to buy our first end tables from Great Offer Stock but these were easy to put together, heavy and really complimented my LR. They are made in china, and as illustrated in the picture, sit high to the side of a couch, so be careful that your couch is not too low on the arm rests. Color has a burnished look to it perfect for that "rustic industrial" look More towards black than brown. Very happy with our purchase. Must be from Great Offer Stock of Ashley home furnishing store. So glad to have gotten it on sale.
