Leonardo Travertine Top Coffee Table vs Plank Travertine Oak Coffee Table

Both are travertine-topped oak coffee tables, but they are built very differently. The Leonardo is the safer pick for most living rooms: a thick 50 mm stone slab on a dark oak base, heavier-looking and easier to live with. The Plank is the design statement, with wavy conjoined legs and a lighter natural finish, and it weighs far more, so it needs a solid floor and two people to move. Reviewers of this style of table praise the stone top for hiding wear; the trade-offs are weight, assembly on the Plank, and travertine's natural pitting and shading.

• Choose the Leonardo if you want a dark, grounded table with a thick stone top and no assembly fuss.
• Choose the Plank if you want a sculptural natural-oak piece and don't mind assembling it and moving about 183 lbs.
