My gold & bamboo coffee table

My favorite piece in my house is my vintage coffee table (& side table) that I scored on Ebay.  I started scouring ebay and craigslist as soon as we knew we were moving back to the US...and I must say that my few finds were totally worth all the websurfing!  I got both the coffee and side table for under $500 and hired a guy to pick them up for me in upstate New York. 

I love the warm veining through the Calcutta marble top 

(it is very heavy though- as you can tell from the marks in my rug)

I love that it's a statement piece without being super heavy or chunky.  And since it's narrow, it will always be a great piece that I can use no matter the size of our apartment. 

I realize this table was a total score- so I wanted to offer some suggestions online of some pieces with a similar look.  But my best advice is to keep your eyes peeled on ebay and craigslist- and don't be afraid to use a dispatch service to pick up and deliver pieces that are too far away.  I paid $200 for the delivery and I'm so glad I did!
