This is one of the two major differences between the two tables. It is intentional as each photo (consumer and store) show this lift on every table.

BUT there are the two large metal pieces that stretch across the top and in two places it is lifted. The table in person at World Market is very heavy and sturdy. Due to the holidays, it will take almost a month to get it. Anyway, I was disappointed to find out that this particular table at World Market is now considered a special order item. Unfortunately where I live, its a smaller metro area and the furniture stores around here cater to the masses which is mostly 'safe' and 'usual' designs. So I drove an hour and half to a world market store to check out the table in person. I dont want to buy the cheaper version and end up thinking I should have initially got what I really wanted. I do sometimes tend to settle because of price though. I do like the looks of the PB table more because of the legs and dims but I cant dismiss that the coffee table from World Market is very similar and currently on sale making it almost 250 dollars cheaper than PB (this would give me more money for other decor items, hooray). I have seen mixed reviews and not sure if its worth the extra cost. I love PB but have never bought any furniture from them. Both are very close in looks but the table from World Market is cheaper. The hastings coffee table by Pottery Barn and the Youkoso coffee table by World Market. So after many months of trying to find a coffee table I want, I found two contenders.
