A coffee table hewn from a single thick slab, on a low solid base

Coffee tables

A thick slab on a solid base. The piece a living room is arranged around, and the one that takes the most use.

A coffee table is handled every day of its life. That is why ours are built from slabs two inches and thicker, on strong crafted legs and never metal hairpins, and finished for a room that is lived in. Nothing about them is delicate.

A single live-edge slab keeps the shape of the tree it came from, and no two are alike. A squared top in one of our design traditions sits more quietly in a formal room. Both are built with the same strength.

What the consultation decides

  • Live-edge slab or squared top
  • Slab thickness and leg style
  • Height, to the sofa you already own
  • Matching side tables
  • Finish, for a room in daily use

Every piece is quoted on its own once the size, the species, and the base are settled.

Forms and species

  • Heritage American Woodworks: a blue epoxy river running through a hardwood top and over a waterfall edge
  • The live edge of a thick walnut slab table top
  • A faceted solid walnut coffee table in a living room
  • A highly figured hardwood slab, milled and ready for a top
  • The live edge of a hardwood slab against the bark

How this one gets built

  1. 1

    Consultation

    Before we do anything we want to understand you and your family's needs for whatever piece you have in mind. You may know exactly what you want right down to exact dimensions and style. Or you may just want something beautiful that fits your space. We can work with both.

  2. 2

    Design

    This is where the fun begins. During this phase we will take the info from our consult and create a render or sketch of your piece of furniture. This is also when you pick out your wood species or slab, epoxy colors, legs, and the rest.

  3. 3

    Build

    At this point, with approved drawings, we execute. A lot of care and craftsmanship goes into every single piece that leaves our shop. You are paying for gorgeous furniture that will outlast all of us. We take that seriously.

  4. 4

    Deliver

    The most exciting moment in the process is when your new piece of furniture is out of our shop and sitting in your space for the first time. Most of our pieces leave Florida. Wherever the house is, it is crated in the shop and delivered white glove, and set in place.

Commission a coffee table.

A rough idea is enough to begin. You do not need dimensions, a drawing, or a species in mind. The consultation exists to settle all three, and nothing is quoted until you have approved a drawing.
