A Thoughtful Centerpiece for Your Living Space
The living room is the heart of the home—a place for quiet morning coffees, lively family game nights, and comfortable evenings spent unwinding. Our Floating Top Coffee Table in Tobacco on Alder is designed to sit naturally at the center of these daily routines, offering both functional surface space and a refined design that grounds your seating area.
Crafted with an intentional balance of materials, this coffee table features a solid Alder wood top that appears to float effortlessly above an industrial metal base. This striking design detail creates an open, airy feel while maintaining a strong, grounded presence. The jointed solid hardwood top showcases the natural character and warmth of the Alder wood, finished in a rich Tobacco tone that highlights the unique grain patterns, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike.

About the Tobacco finish
This Floating Top Coffee Table is finished in Tobacco on Alder. A warm, earthy brown with enduring appeal. Timeless and balanced, it brings a sense of thoughtful comfort.
- Wood: Solid knotty alder sourced from the Pacific Northwest, the wood behind about 95% of our pieces. Its grain and natural knots stay visible under the stain.
- Finish: hand-applied stain sealed with a polyurethane topcoat that helps protect against water, stains and scratches.
- Character: grain, knots and color variation are part of solid wood and make every piece its own. Knots on top surfaces are filled.
- See it first: stain looks different in every room's light, so we recommend ordering a sample before you decide.
