Which is better for a small living room?

The Bella Depot. It is slightly smaller and its drawers replace a side basket or shelf for remotes and books. The Roche is wider and deeper, so measure your seating gap first.

Does the Roche have any storage?

No. It is a plain top with no drawers or shelf. If you need hidden storage, the Bella Depot is the only one of the two that offers it.

The Roche states a 220 lb capacity and a one-year warranty; the Bella Depot states neither. The Roche also arrives assembled, so there are no joints for you to tighten.

Is the Roche real ash wood?

The frame is MDF with ash veneer, not solid ash. The veneer gives the ash look with a protective coating, but it is not a solid-wood plank top.

Is the Bella Depot hard to assemble?

It ships flat with instructions and hardware. Expect to attach legs and drawer fronts; set aside an hour and a second pair of hands for the frame.

Is the Roche worth stepping up to?

Yes if you want a bigger top, no assembly and a warranty. Skip it if storage matters more, since it has none.

Bella Depot Solid Wood Coffee Table vs Roche 50" Ash Low Coffee Table

Buy the Bella Depot if storage is the point: it has slatted drawers and hidden compartments, and its solid wood and MDF build suits a busy living room. Buy the Roche if you want a larger, sturdier top that arrives assembled, with a 220 lb capacity and a one-year warranty behind it. The Bella Depot asks for assembly and has no stated weight limit or warranty; the Roche has no drawers at all. Owners rate the Roche highly, though 17 ratings is a small sample.

Choose the Bella Depot if you need a coffee table that hides remotes, books and clutter in slatted drawers.
Choose the Roche if you want a bigger, assembled table with a stated weight capacity and a warranty.
