Hi Brian, they both look pretty nice to me. But if you want an opinion, for a coffee table, I think an open structure would be better. However, that can depend on what is planned for the open areas. If they will collect junk (like some places in my house) it might be better to enclose them. If they will display something nice or be used to provide easy access to magazines, remotes, etc, then maybe better to keep them open.
If you enclose the outside sections with doors, then think about how close the coffee table might be to a couch. If the doors face the couch, they may not be able to open fully unless the table is pretty far from the couch.
