These are really nice tables, constructed from solid wood with quality hardware and nice satin finish. The cocktail table has four flip down panels (two on each side) for good storage possibilities. The end tables have one flip down panel. The tables are finished all around, so the backs of the end tables for instance have a fine furniture look, no cheap particle board anywhere. Accent tables are available separately which offer additional possibilities (narrower and deeper than end table). The end table was wide enough to fit a small stereo receiver. The separately purchased accent table was more suitable for use at the end of the couch due to its greater depth. All the tables had the same color/shade. One table had a damaged corner but Overstock.com took care of it, although a few phone calls were required. Shipping to Seattle was pretty fast - less than two weeks. Overall am very pleased with the tables and with Overstock.
