The Collection
Coffee Tables
Every table in this group is worked down from solid hardwood, not a veneer skin over particle board. The top and base are cut and shaped after your order is placed. Through the build, the workshop photographs the timber and each stage of the shaping so you can see the grain and the profile taking form before anything is finished.
Lengths run from 24" up to 60", all at a 16" height that sits comfortably with most sofa seats. A 24" or 26" table is an accent piece for a compact apartment. The 32" and 41" sizes are the common living room choice, and the 47" or 60" suits a long sectional or an open plan room where the table has to hold its own. Aim to leave 16" to 18" between the table edge and the sofa. The forms serve different needs: round tops soften a room and remove sharp corners where children play, rectangular tops give the most usable surface, live edge keeps the natural outline of the board, and storage versions add a shelf or drawer for remotes and books.
A note before you order: a wide solid top moves a few millimetres with the seasons. That is normal timber behaviour, not a fault. Tables ship flat packed with the base separate and printed assembly instructions included. Free worldwide delivery and 30-day returns.

Before you buy
Coffee Tables: questions, answered
Is a wood coffee table from this collection really solid wood?+
Every wood coffee table here is carved down from one solid hardwood block, not a veneer skin over particle board. There is no veneer, no MDF and no particle board anywhere in the build.
What sizes are available?+
Most pieces in this collection come in several sizes, with exact dimensions and a price for each size on the product page. Measure the spot in your living room or study first, then check the largest dimension against it before you commit.
Anything I should plan for before ordering?+
A wide solid top moves a few millimetres with the seasons, which is normal and not a defect.
How does delivery work for a wood coffee table?+
Every piece is made to order and built by hand. Delivery is free worldwide, and tracking is emailed the moment your piece ships.
What if it does not work in my space?+
You have 30 days to decide. If the piece is not right, you can return it unused within 30 days of delivery in its original packaging, with clear instructions from our team. Every wood coffee table also carries a 10 year structural warranty.
How do I care for the wood?+
Dust with a soft cloth and condition the wood with a light coat of furniture oil once or twice a year. Solid wood wears in over time, and small marks can usually be buffed out.
A coffee table sits at the center of the most used room in the house, and it takes the most contact of any surface you own. Mugs, books, board games, feet on a Friday night. Every solid wood coffee table in this collection is built for that reality: cut from hardwood all the way through, joined by hand, and finished to bring out the wood’s natural warmth, a surface that wears in over the years instead of wearing out.
How to choose a coffee table that fits your room
The 16 to 18 inch rule
Leave about 16 to 18 inches between the sofa and the table edge. Closer than that and knees hit wood. Further and every cup of coffee becomes a small reach. Measure that gap first, then let the remaining floor space set the size of the table.
Height matters more than length
A coffee table should sit within an inch or two of your sofa seat height, usually 15 to 18 inches. A table that is clearly taller than the cushion line looks like it wandered in from another room, no matter how good the wood is.
Round or rectangular
A round wood coffee table keeps walkways open and has no corners at shin height, which makes it the safer pick for smaller rooms and homes with kids. A long rectangular top anchors a deep sofa and a larger lounge. If your seating wraps around a corner, a round or oval top serves both sides evenly.
Styles in this collection
Sculptural and organic bases
The signature pieces here carry carved, flowing bases shaped from solid stock. They read as furniture from across the room and as sculpture up close. If that is the direction you want for the whole space, the same carving language runs through our console tables and TV cabinets, so the room can build around one idea.
Mid century lines
Tapered legs, low profiles and clean edges. These tables sit well in rooms that already lean on walnut tones, and they pair naturally with a wood side table at the end of the sofa for lamp and glass duty.
Storage without the clutter
Several designs add an open shelf or enclosed compartment under the top. Remotes, chargers and coasters disappear, and the surface stays clear for what a coffee table is actually for. If storage is the main event, an entryway bench with a lift top does the same job at the door.
What solid wood gives you that veneer cannot
A veneer table is a photograph of wood glued to particle board. It looks right for a year or two, then an edge lifts or a corner chips and there is nothing underneath worth repairing. A solid wood cocktail table is the same material at the surface and at the core:
- Scratches and water rings sand or buff out, because the grain continues below the surface.
- Joints are cut into the wood itself, so the frame tightens with care instead of loosening with age.
- The top can be refinished decades from now and come back looking new.
That is why a solid piece costs more on day one and less over its lifetime. It is one purchase, not a cycle of replacements.
