Is the Safavieh Mork coffee table solid wood?

No. The frame and legs are wood, but the top is MDF with a wood veneer finish. That keeps the weight and cost down compared with a solid wood top.

How big is it next to a sofa?

The top is 40 inches across and 18 inches high, so it sits at standard sofa-seat height. It suits a large sectional or a full seating group better than a small apartment sofa.

Does it need assembly?

Yes. The legs and top ship unassembled, and owners say assembly takes some time. Plan for two people because the finished table weighs about 54 lbs.

Can I use it outdoors?

No. Safavieh lists it for indoor residential use only, and the veneer finish would not hold up to weather.

How much weight does it hold?

The listed capacity is 135 lbs. That covers trays, books and everyday items, but it is not meant as a seat.

How does it compare with a four-leg round table?

The tripod base leaves more open floor space and looks lighter, but a four-leg table is usually more stable if people lean on the edge. Both give the same 40-inch round top.
