I bought 4 of these--2 in "lobster" and 2 in carbon.
I use them as display stands for heavy sculpture, one has a 50inch plasma on it and only one is being used as a side table.
They are strong, look very good mixed with my 50/60's furniture and my folk art. Because they are "see through" they add a dash of color or contrast without overwhelming.
Great purchase. Of course, they are flat packed so you gotta put 'em together. Pain, but not really difficult.
