Simpli Home Millbury Drum Coffee Table vs Round Wood Fluted Drum Coffee Table

Buy the Simpli Home Drum Mango if you want solid wood, a larger top and no assembly. Buy the fluted MDF table if you want a taller table, a higher weight rating and a lower entry point. The Simpli Home is the better-built piece: real mango wood, a low-VOC water-based finish and a 36-inch top that seats more people. The fluted table is engineered wood with a veneer look, but it stands 17.7 inches tall, holds up to 300 lb and assembles in under 20 minutes. Owners of solid mango tables report they age well with occasional oiling; MDF tables are lighter and more prone to edge damage if knocked.

• Choose the Simpli Home Drum Mango if you want a solid mango wood table that arrives fully assembled and gives you a wider 36-inch surface for entertaining.
• Choose the fluted drum table if you want a taller 17.7-inch table with a 300 lb rating and a boho fluted look that fits small apartments.
