I am most definitely interested, but most definitely confused. I was originally interested in a table which is very similar to this one I saw on Amazon identified as "Benzara BM171403 Rubber Wood, Brown Coffee Table" (now at a reduced price of $222.64) and two end tables, a "Benzara BM171401 Rubber Wood End Table" for $52.01 and a larger "Benzara BM171404 Rubber Wood End Table, Brown" for $65.21. which was much more similar in its rather ornate carvings to the coffee table, each of which was "crafted from rubber wood, MDF, ash burl veneer and Okoume veneer." I discovered the Antoinette table on this site which bears a very great resemblance to the coffee table I had been looking at on Amazon, but appears in one instance to have a possibly different cherry and in another more of a mahogany stain. I saved the table above to my wish list but kept seeing an apparently identical yet $150 more expensive Antoinette coffee table on here, so I looked more closely and now see that these two Antoinettes were both made by Steve Silver and the more expensive one (at $324 compared to the above-listed $255.99) seems to be possibly touted as having more of a mahogany stain. Silver sure isn't shy about bragging his application of a mahogany stain to the Antoinette tables on Amazon, where he has not just the coffee table but two of the end tables, both of which are apparently the larger end tables (although perhaps there is no smaller end table in the Antoinette series; if so, that's surprising, since Silver made the smaller, $52.01 table mentioned above) as a table set in two separate listings, one for $617.96 and the second for $744.70 even though each has the same identical quite detailed description and each at times describes the finish as "warm brown" like the table first mentioned. Believe me, I would just rather buy the entire Benzara set on Amazon at a total of what would now be $287.85 (plus tax), but I have a problem. I lost most of my furniture on New Year's Eve in a fire, but managed to save one end table, which is at least a very dark cherry and I"m almost sure was built with mahogany. I am afraid the "warm brown" of the first Benzara coffee table and end table will clash markedly with my old end table. I am not sure, however, I am prepared to spend $396.98 on the apparently more cherry-tinged cheaper Antoinette coffee and larger end table table on here (oh yeah, there are two versions of the larger end table on here, too, one for $190..99, the other for $324, and even though they bear virtually an identical description except for punctuation they bear different product numbers) after deducting the $50 credit you have given me or $670.95 for the more expensive Antoinette coffee and end tables, once again deducting the credit you gave me. Obviously, this is a very confusing situation resulting from the apparent takeover by Steve Silver of what seems to have almost has to have been a line of living room furniture he took over from Benzara given the marked similarity of the Antoinettes to the Bengara coffee table on Amazon, then possibly making improvements to it. Regardless of what the explanation for the confusion is, Silver has most definitely done the worst--I am forced to say it--MOST PISS POOR JOB OF MARKETING FURNITURE I HAVE EVER SEEN BY FAILING TO SUFFIC8IENTLY IDENTIFY WHAT HE'S SELLING SUCH THAT A PERSON OF EVEN HEIGHTENED INTELLIGENCE CAN CHOSE WHICH PRODUCT TO BUY OF ANY FURNITURE MANUFACTURER WHO EVER LIVED., MUCH LESS ONE TRYING TO SELL PRODUCT ONLINE! Any help you can give me to straighten this situation out and clear up my confusion would be immensely appreciated.

Now that I've worked the numbers, paying even $159.13 to get a slightly redder version of a product I already like on Amazon seems pretty stupid and paying $383.10 to darken that red tint to one merely looking more like mahogany though actually constructed from a melange of artificial substances seems utterly ridiculous. Still, let me know what you think if you can.

I sure would also appreciate it if you could extend my ability to use that credit for one more day. As you can see from the above, I have worked very hard at trying to use that credit today, but I am too inextricably hung up in a more confusing game of musical tables, not chairs, than any I could ever have dreamed up, that's for sure!

Thanks,

John Gage
