Which is better for a small living room?

Both are 48 inches wide. The Plank+Beam lists a 24-inch depth and 17.75-inch height, so you can check the fit exactly; the Jofran does not publish those figures.

Is the Jofran Marlowe worth the extra money?

Only if you want the curved shape and the drawer. At $361.98 versus $189.99 as of November 7, 2026, you pay about $172 for style and hidden storage.

Which one is solid wood?

The Plank+Beam states a solid pine wood top and legs. The Jofran listing does not name its materials.

Do either have storage?

The Jofran Marlowe has a retractable drawer. The Plank+Beam has no shelves or drawers.

Which is easier to set up?

The Plank+Beam requires assembly. The Jofran does not state whether assembly is needed, so confirm before buying.

Neither lists a warranty. Solid pine on the Plank+Beam is a known quantity; the Jofran's construction is not described, so it is harder to judge.
