North Field Store
There aren’t many coffee tables in this world that look awesome enough to make a painting of a Kingfisher’s cousin anything better than grotesque.
Northfield Store have managed to create one though.
All we can do is tip our hat to them.
You can choose a coffee table from five different designs.
The first three are salvaged wood:
- Natural
- Tobacco
- Mocha Rose
The last two are solid wood:
- Pecan Oak
- Dark Oak
Each are finished with a protective coating that Northfield Store emphasize is in place to prevent the need for very unstylish drinks coasters.
Ecosystems are important and you can relax in the knowledge that these trees were sourced from sustainable forestry programs.

The Loveseat Store
Can you remember the last time you saw a herringbone coffee table?
The Loveseat Store don’t want you to think for too long and, to make that a reality, you can buy one from them.
The industrial hairpin legs hold stained, reclaimed pieces of wood which are arranged in a geometric orientation, described by The Loveseat Store as being put together like a puzzle.
It sounds very tricky.
That’s exactly the reason you leave it to the experts.
If you love coffee tables with character, some personality, then the texture of the wood that the carpenters let shine through is going to satisfy those cravings.
It’ll be as though the tree is still alive in your living room.
One-of-a-kind knots and swirling of grain tell stories of times when the trees were in the forest and when times were tough. If you accidentally spill some baked beans on your coffee table, you may get away with pretending the stain that endured was just part of the cycle of life.
You’re even able to request different sizes if you contact The Loveseat Store directly.
Don’t be afraid if the legs aren’t in the same box as the tabletop. The legs don’t know their own strength and are shipped separately to protect the wood from being damaged on transit.
Legs will be legs – the little scamps!

Restored Wakefield Coffee Table – Niji Furnishings
An alternative business model here.
Niji Furnishing was started by a duo in Philadelphia who decided to do something about their dream of making a living out of revitalizing vintage furniture.
Their dream is now a reality and you’ll be thankful that’s the case once you get to rest your feet on such incredible examples of craftmanship after a hard day’s work. Did your mother never tell you it’s rude to put your feet up on the table?
Part of what makes their work so exciting is the unknown elements of each project.
On occasion they’ll need to fully restore an item with structural damage and other times they’ll simply need to freshen it up to get it back to its glossy self.
God knows we all need that sometimes.
This coffee table is an original Heywood Wakefield.
Composed of birch with a ‘feline gait’, its ability to hold miniature teapots is unrivaled, something that shouldn’t be dismissed.
The guys at Niji Furnishings make this Heywood Wakefield their own by stripping back all the way to the wood and removing unnecessary coatings that diminish the birch’s natural glory.
