Wood slab furniture is all about the wood; that is to say, versus other furniture types and pieces, wood slab furniture centers on the slab that is at the heart of the piece. So whether it is a table, desk or shelving unit, the interest and beauty of the piece comes from the wood slab itself. It’s live edge design, it’s overall shape, the grain of the natural wood, you name it
