Fully Customized / Period Coffee -and Sofa Tables:

I take the view that all my work is furniture, some of it just a little bigger that fits in the middle of the room -rather then on the wall.  And any case can be put on legs.  A small drawer case on legs becomes an end table with drawers.  A larger drawer case on legs becomes a chiffonier, (or some other such French word).  A narrow display case on tall legs is a sofa table behind the couch, and wider display case on shorter legs becomes a coffee table in front of the couch.

Choose the finish that best suits your home -or the furniture already in the room.  There are some choices in dimension as indicated below.  (If you have very specific needs, drop me a note and we will see what we can do.)  I also offer a choice in the color of the felt lining, -green, red, grey, purple, brown (faun), black, navy blue, and white.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT SHIPPING:

I don't offer freight charges nor weights below, because every table is different.  The price of fuel -and freight- goes up and down (but mostly up) every week or so.  Shipping big things is -with out a doubt- one of the trickiest parts of my business, but I work it carefully.  Here are some considerations:

  • I use common carriers to get these to your home.  

  • I also crate them up pretty carefully.  (You need, maybe, a new dog house?)

  • The cheapest way to get it to you is to get it to a business with a loading dock.

  • Next cheapest way is to get it to any-old business. 

  • The most expensive way is to send it to your home in a truck with a lift-gate.  This usually adds about $75.

  • The empty crates are often heavier then the table, so once it's out of the crate, it is pretty easy to move.

  • Usually, the customer (if he's a guy) and the driver (usually a guy) can lift it out of the back of the truck.  (Note the use of the words "usually.")

  • Your cell phone # often makes it easier for all concerned at your end.  

  • The drivers are usually (there's that word again) pretty dang nice and helpful.  The companies they work for and most particularly their dispatchers, on the other hand....

Shaker Coffee Table:

Much like the sofa table, but lower and a little wider. (Think swords in the sofa table and the rest of great-great-great-grand' pap's accouterment in the coffee table.)  This case stands 18 inches tall and is available in cherry or maple.  Tempered glass may also be specified as an upgrade.

This is a cherry case finished in a light stain.

Hepplewhite:

I'm not entirely sure who M. Hepplewhite is / was, nor his or her religious views, but I take the view that the simplicity of this design is certainly Shaker-like.  My generic "contemporary" legs are inspired by Hepplewhite.  For my economy coffee tables with a similar leg, have a look at Table Display Cases.  For Hepplewhite apron frames for drawer cases, have a look at Semi-Custom Drawer Cases.  

 

This style is also available as a sofa table.

The pictured table is walnut with an oil finish

This case is perhaps the easiest to 

customize.  Tell me what you need 

for dimensions and we will see what 

we can do.  

As shown -22 inches by 44 inches, this table runs $450.  

Tempered glass adds $80

Sheraton Sofa Table:

So what is this Sheraton style?   Hold on -in 25 words or less- it is a subset of the American FEDERALIST style and it's greatest adherents were Thomas Sheridan and George Hepplewhite, both of whom were English.  The finest examples of Federalists architecture come to us from a Scottish architect named  Robert Adam. All this went on from 1790 to 1830.  Seems to me that America and the English were rather at odds with one another then, but what do I know.  It's an elegant and graceful style.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

 

This style is also available as a coffee table.   

This finish is medium oak

Inside dims.   17" x 33 x 5"

Top (lid)        22  x 39"

Window size  16 x 33"

William & Mary Coffee Table:

I'm a little fuzzy on my history, but you know those old boys in the black britches and funny hats with the buckles?  The Pilgrims, and assorted other Protestants and Calvinists?  I'm not sure, but this style always strikes me as what these folks had in their homes -or at least more trendy and stylish ones.   This being so, the black finish is the most somber, sober, and appropriate -but it's entirely up to you.  I can also put a shelf on the stretchers below.

 

This style is also available as a sofa table.

The case is ebonized maple and the lid is oak with medium stain.

Inside dims.   17" x 37 x 4"

Top (lid)        22  x 41"

Window size  16 x 36"

for tempered glass -add $80

for a finished shelf  -add $90

Cherry  -$620

Maple   -$560

Farmhouse / Country Coffee table:

This design reflects the more robust esthetic of the English country side.  French and American country-side too for that matter.  Please notice that the lid's frame is wider then the cases above.  This is to allow for the bigger block at the top of the legs of this more substantial design.  

 

This style is also available as a sofa table.

The case shown is maple with a clear poly finish.  (The dog is separately available.)

Inside dims.   17" x 37 x 4"

Top (lid)        24  x 44"

Window size  16 x 36"

for tempered glass -add $80

Cyma / Cabriole Coffee Table:

Now this is interesting.  Turns out that Cabriole legs were a response to the tiresome need for stretcher bars between the legs of chairs etc.  (Notice the Willy & Mary table above.)  They are actually the parent of Queen Ann style legs.  I would have thought that they were a more modern style.  

 

This style is also available as a sofa table.

This case is black "milk paint" (it's actually flatted lacquer) 

and the lid is medium cherry

Inside dims.   17" x 37 x 4"

Top (lid)        22  x 41"

Window size  16 x 36"

Queen Ann Coffee Table

What can or need be said about Queen Ann?  Lovely and graceful style.  Kind of a pain in the butt to make, but this is my problem -not yours.  For some rooms in some homes, the Good Queen Ann is the ONLY way to go.

 

This style is also available as a sofa table.  

This case is cherry in medium stain.

This case may also be customized to a large degree.  (Except, the depth of the box must be no more then 3 3/4 inches)  As shown, it is 20 inches x 40 inches and costs about $650 with tempered glass.

The queen's legs come in two flavors.  I'm not sure what to call each -I just say that her knees don't show, (#1) or they do (#2).  Be sure to let me know your preference.

 

Ball and Claw legs are available as #2's as well.

    Scroll-work Queen Ann Coffee Table:

This version of the Queen is a little more elaborate and a little more delicate.  The box is a little smaller -18 inches by 36 inches and -it must be said -only 3 inches deep rather the usual 4.  The top is a bit fancier with inserted scroll work and the apron also has scrolled details at the ends. 

This style is NOT available as a Sofa Table

This case is maple in medium finish.

 

Cherry $725.00

Maple  $675.00

for tempered glass -add $60.00
