The dining table Tony is most proud of is a single monkey pod slab — one tree, four inches thick, cut from a tree in Thailand that was already old when most Denver houses were built. It seats eight. The grain moves in directions that take your eye on a trip across the surface. There’s nothing else like it.
That’s the point of this category. Not tables that match. Tables that mean something.
You’ll find live-edge slabs in monkey pod and acacia with metal X-bases. Reclaimed wood plank tables with hand-forged iron legs. Round sheesham tables with embedded grain patterns. Farmhouse construction in natural and whitewash. Folding-leg dining tables built for smaller spaces. Industrial crank-base bistro tables.
Some pieces seat four. Some seat ten. Construction varies — mortise-and-tenon joinery in the wood pieces, welded steel in the bases. Tables sourced from Thailand, India, Costa Rica, and Indonesia, depending on the piece.
Table dimensions matter. Come in with your room measurements. A table that photographs large may be narrower than you expect.
