At first glance, these two pictures might appear to be of the same table taken in different lighting, but perhaps the more discerning can pick out a few tiny details that sets one apart from the other. There’s not much, mind you, but there is a difference, most noticeably in the price. <\/p>\n

Can you guess which one is $900 and which is $300? <\/p>\n

Answer and info on both below.
\n<\/p>\n

The $900 one is….the one on the left!
\n\"rubik-round-table\"
\nThat’s right, it’s the Rubik Round Coffee Table<\/a> from DWR<\/a>, with a stainless steel base and an Arabescato Marble top. It measures H 14″ Diameter 36″. <\/p>\n

Which leaves the lower priced $300 table…
\n\"smart-round-table\"
\nas the
Smart Round Table<\/a> from CB2<\/a>. It’s a little bit smaller than the Rubik (only by a few inches: 33″ dia. x 12.25″ H) with a steel tube frame (with a chrome-plated finish) and a ‘Carrara-style’ marble top. <\/p>\n

So, now, is the difference in materials and detailing enough to make one better than the other? That’s up to you and your wallet. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
