These tables were well worth the wait. I purchased the coffee table, but the end tables were out of stock, as they are now. When they finally came back, I ordered them asap. They look great, and are just as described. One reviewer wrote "The slate doesn't fit well and doesn't lay flat. Lamps and decor items won't be level when placed on this table". Please understand two things: 1) these are pieces of slate, not manufactured tiles; no two will be alike and 2) the center of the beveled glass is 14.5 inches square - plenty of room for a lamp or decor items to lay flat. Additionally, the pieces of slate are "inlaid" between the outer steel frame pieces, which are level (and even with the non-beveled part of the glass). The slate border is on the edge and is about 2 3/4" wide, which would be way too small for any lamp. Yes, they are all slightly different and can be uneven, but the are on the outer edge, not an area I would place a lamp or decor items.
I love the black frame, the natural slate and the glass, enough so that I just ordered the matching sofa table. Easy to clean and looks sharp.
One other note - these are made of steel, glass and slate. No weight is noted with the description, but I knew they would be heavy and they are. Please understand that if you put these on carpeting they will make indents in it.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The table frame and glass match the description and images; the pieces of slate will vary some as they are natural slate, not manufactured tile.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very sturdy, easy to assemble, looks great, especially with the coffee table. No defects noted.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Accurate - steel, slate, tempered glass, size is correct, pictures give side and top view.
