High Vs. Low: Marble Round Tables

One of these marble round tables is less than $300 -- can you tell which?

Sure, marble is a luxurious surface that commands a high price tag. While we adore the original Rubik Round Coffee Table ($900) at Design Within Reach, there's something to be said for big savings. CB2's version, while nearly identical, is a far cry in price at just $300.

Sometimes, though, you get what you pay for. The pricey DWR option offers floor-protecting pads on the base, stainless steel legs and a solid marble tabletop. The CB2 version goes for more budget-conscious (and lower quality) Carrara-style marble and chrome. Not bad, and for the price, I'd say it's a steal indeed.

Tell me, readers? Where do you save, and where do you splurge? And what's the best deal you've ever scored on a coffee table? Tweet us your thoughts at twitter.com/shelterpop!
