Which is better for a guest room?

The Ashley Brinxton. It costs less and still includes bed, dresser, mirror and nightstand. The Coaster's extra piece and weight rating matter more in a primary bedroom.

Which bed holds more weight?

The Coaster Kauffman, which states a 600 lb max load. Ashley does not publish a weight capacity for the Brinxton.

Is the Coaster worth the extra money?

Only if you need the fifth piece, the larger mirror or the stated 600 lb capacity. Otherwise the Ashley set saves about $526.

Do either need a box spring?

The Coaster Kauffman requires a foundation or box spring. Ashley does not state a requirement for the Brinxton, so check the rail height before buying a mattress.

Which has more drawer storage?

The Ashley Brinxton lists 7 drawers on a 60.94-inch dresser. Coaster describes a double dresser with built-in storage but does not list a drawer count.

Are either solid wood?

No. Ashley uses wood with a laminate finish and replicated oak grain. Coaster uses engineered wood and rubberwood under a paper laminate.
