Custom Reclaimed Wood Table Tops
Already have a table base? Is there a table in your house that could use a new top; but is otherwise fine? Consider putting a beautiful reclaimed wood top on it.. and saving the cost of an entire new table. With all the different tones that are found in authentically distressed wood, chances are that your existing base will blend well. Alternatively, a reclaimed wood top with a metal base can be a nice juxtaposition of aged and modern.

We showcase our table tops on our website as they are the absolute centrepiece of any table; from coffee to dining. Perusing other sites I’ve noticed a lot of the bigger furniture companies will have all kinds of side shots of tables; emphasizing the base.
Here is an example from Restoration Hardware:

Granted, the base style important (especially when it comes to seating).. but what will you be staring at as your eating your bacon and eggs?
Having delivered and set up hundreds of tables; I’ve seen a lot of different designs/set-ups. Our tables really radiate in spaces where the table top is made the focal point/centrepiece of the room. The easiest way this can be achieved in not having wood grain in the seating. A painted wood chair or fabric chair will contrast with the table top rather than compete with it.
For dozens of close-up examples of our tops – see the ‘Premium Epoxy’ button under the “Finishing” tab.
