This isn't clear from the description although it does actually mention "nesting" - so you'd therefore fairly assume that it is like any other "nest of tables" and stacks together - but it doesn't - which means that the description is lacking or misleading at best. It could make all the difference to you depending on how and where you're planning on positioning them. Fortunately for me it doesn't matter, but if it was I'd have sent them back so do check yourlocation before ordering.On the plus side, they are good value and easy to put together and look okay apart from slight imperfections on the finish which are accentuated by the gloss finish - but at this price it's hard to criticise I suppose.If you bear the above in mind then you shouldn't be disappointed - if you expect a very high standard then I suggest that you look elsewhere.I was able to assemble them in about 15 minutes, the instructions were very clear & good. They look really good & feel quite sturdy. I am very happy with them & would definitely recommend the set. I saw some reviews that said this wasn’t a nest set, the smaller piece does slot under the bigger piece (as shown in the photo) not all the way but half way.Found 5 chips on the unit. Needed a clean as very dusty and dirty. Haven’t returned as in need of side table but would not recommend this productItems damaged, returned and still after 3 weeks no money has been received in my account, disgusting, dont buy
