It’s a matte gold. Not shiny.These besting tables were exactly what I needed for a great price. Bonus: Easy to assemble.the table is cute and as shown on the picture, however it came with scratches and defects :( not sure how to cover them? It is for my main living room so I don’t want to leave it as is.the short piece top frame is dented, make it look cheap. The opening of long piece opening at the bottom frame is not coordinated with the diameter of the short piece (smaller), the short piece cannot be just slide underneath the long piece. It's disappointing...I love this cute little table. It’s the perfect size for my small office space. I don’t like putting things together but this wasn’t that bad.We would love to know how you secure the glass. There is nothing to keep it from tipping or flipping.Please let me know what i can do to secure it.I love this product and the value for the cost of it I always read the reviews whenever I purchase something so this was no differentI love the way the gold color is as some other ones that I saw were so bright gold this blends in perfectly with my DecorIt came package really well packaged. It has 2 glass pieces and they did a great job with the packagingvery easy to assemble I probably assembled it like within 15 minutes overall I would give this product a five starLooks nice put together, but pieces didn't line up as well as other products I've bought from same vendor. Gaps where parts screw together. Overall, nice look.
