So your question is which one of these should you chose?! Or something that looks similar to these but more budget friendly?

Out of your 3 choices, like the original/1st one the best. R&B have a couple other glass top tables I've been eyeing myself (including the Noguchi...only wish that were in my budget, lol!).
You may want to check out their site if you haven't done so recently. Also check out West Elm, Crate and Barrel and Design Within Reach....lots of nice choices, depending on your budget range.

Personally, I like the 3rd best.

I agree with Design Elements, sometimes it's worth splurging on a special item. Clearly this is a memorable piece for you and you really want it, so indulge your design senses and go for the original Dunn Cocktail Table. The worst feeling is when you decide to save a bit on a piece and ultimately regret getting something that isn't what you initially wanted.

You can get a "knock off" Noguchi for $265 and even select the wood finish if budget is an issue.

Knock off Naguchi for me is close enough. Of the ones posted I like the 1st one if it's less costly than the Naguchi.

I see those Naguchi style coffee tables every now and then, when hunting around for furniture.

Trust me, if I could find the Dunn table for $300, maybe a little above, I'm sold. I love the look of the table, but I have roommates now, and I'm OCD, they however are not. Spending almost $600 on a coffee table, then finding it scratched, or worse, I'm losing my mind.

That's why I'm looking for the best, and closest alternative to the Dunn, that might be more cost minded. Also, something that has a side table that will match nicely.

love thirst one...but you can find similar for less$$. Try a West a Elm, and try Wayfair.com and Overstock.com.

Your third option is great! It gives the feel and pricy without the prictage and it resembles some of my favorite coffee tables by Nuevo Living as shown. The diameter on it looks kinda small so I would be cognizant of that nonetheless, great choice!

First one: West Elm
Second: Overstock

Looks like West Elm has a sale on their living room tables right now. Some of their coffee tables also have matching side tables. May be worth a look....

So sorry 2tilletts. I guess we were posting around the same time.... :-)

Have you seen these two from The Bay? Both on sale. I'm deciding between the two myself! If not, I like your first choice the best.
