The beauty of wood slab tables is inherent to the wood itself. It’s in the grain, it’s in the color, it’s even in the feel.Solid slab tables are unique because literally no two are ever alike. When you own one, in many ways, you own a piece of history as embodied by the tree from which it came.
Certainly, there are numerous stores and online retailers that offer “reclaimed” wood tables or “authentic” wood tables. And sure, some look very nice and the price point is attractive as well. The thing is, this is where the term mass production really comes into play. Dining tables, coffee tables and even solid wood desks, are produced in batches, by factories so that your piece, your wood slab table looks like everyone else’s.
Here is our breakdown (and yes, we know we’re partial) as to why our solid slab tables are superior to those other wood pieces you can buy in bulk.

It takes the place of a great painting that your guests can’t stop talking about.
