I was skeptical after I read all the reviews and am now hooked. The wood looks antique and fits the style perfectly with cottage or shabby chic. I feel the pillars quite as stable. Of course, these are hollow inside, but if you do not mind encounters in full pace I do not know why this should fall.
We had since the acquisition on several occasions and every guest who came into our living room and saw these stylish pieces was thrilled. One of the best purchases I've ever made. Think to bring me those still in the color white.
