River tables are a popular choice for modern and contemporary settings. They provide the flexibility to create any shape, as well as being durable and sturdy.

If you're looking to get a bit creative, there's no better way than to use a slab of wood that has been cut from a grown tree. The advantage of this method is that you can choose any type of wood (or even something made up). In addition, there are many different ways in which the resulting table may be constructed.


The method for top creation is for two slabs of just about anything to be joined together by using epoxy or resin as the "glue" between them and applying pressure until they are tightly bound together like one solid piece. Keeping the natural edge in tact, with both "live edges" facing each other, the resin is poured in the void leaving a stunning result resembling its natural counterpart—a riverbed where water flows down through cracks in the ground into pools below them!


The table can be used indoors or outdoors, as a dining room table or coffee table. It can also be customized with custom colors using pigments.


The base options are almost as endless at the wood selection and river color - you may choose an industrial look using powder coated steel, or go with a more traditional wood base. The most important thing is...it is completely custom from top to bottom.


River tables can come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. The only characteristic that outshines it's appearance is it's weight - these can be heavy! Nevertheless, if you are looking for unique furniture options, we implore you to add this to your considerations list.
