Some customers prefer the chestnut finish over the golden oak slate end tables because it has a slightly more antique look to it. In either case, the wood grain shows through the rich-looking lacquered finish, enhancing the natural beauty and appearance of the slate end table. The four square slate tile inlays give the slate end tables an added dimension that you won't find in most other accent tables.
Many customers use slate end tables to hold lamps, but they're also great for potted plants, stereo components, or even computer printers. However, because of the decorative nature of the tiles on top of the slate end tables, some people prefer not to cover them up completely.

They're versatile, so you'll probably find yourself using the same slate end table for different purposes over the years. Perhaps the most important question to ask your self when considering the purchase of slate end tables is "Will it enhance the enjoyment of our home?"
