Kikiumi Solid Wood Centre Table vs Cosmos Select Solid Oak Lift-Top Coffee Table

Buy the Kikiumi if the table's look matters most: an oval solid oak top on a slim leg base, mid-century and light at 26 lb. Buy the Cosmos Select if you need function: a lift-top that raises for laptop or dining use, four shelves, and a stated 510 lb load. Both are solid oak and both need assembly. The Kikiumi is the lower, more furniture-like piece; the Cosmos Select is the heavier, more utilitarian one, and it carries no written warranty.

• Choose the Kikiumi if you want a low oval oak center table with a mid-century look and a hidden storage area.
• Choose the Cosmos Select if you want a lift-top surface, four shelves and a high stated load rating.
