These tables are beautiful and substantial in weight and size. The tops are indeed a thin real marble veneer with a clear coat. The gold is very polished and gleaming, so if that's the look you're going for you will not be disappointed. One end table unfortunately had to be exchanged twice because of obviously defects/flaws and the third try was also flawed but I was tired and just requested a discount. Macy’s customer service was a dream to work with and I couldn't be happier with the table set.

This table is fabulous. Goes well with everything and elevated my entire family room. Scale is fantastic. When I first saw this in the store it was cracked and I was skeptical but when it was delivered new and in place I could not love it more. Just take care of it. This is a natural marble stone. Don't drop things on it and you will be fine.

Beautiful table but it's not real marble! Not worth it the money
