I love this table. Both came from Macy's but I only purchased one of them myself. The stone is more of a taupe than cream so they don't match with Travertine or Fossilstone tables but if you are looking to modernize that look to Transitional style, these are a good place to start. The stone has a smooth but not too shiny. The bottom is a brown metal with a rust look in spots. The stone isn't has heavy as you might expect but its high quality and overall it is just a gorgeous table. It is a standard height and I'd say that the coffee table needs to be in a larger room, like a living room. Lots of nice storage underneath. I love them!
