The dining table is the true heart of the home—the place where quiet morning routines begin, Sunday dinners are shared, and family stories are passed down. The Francesca Dining Table, finished in our deep Charred Ember with a smooth, protective satin topcoat, is designed to be the anchor for these everyday moments. Handcrafted in our Ozarks workshop, this table brings together thoughtful design and honest, enduring craftsmanship.
Thoughtful Design and Function
Featuring a striking double pedestal base adorned with architectural columns, the Francesca offers a balanced blend of structure and grace. The double pedestal design is not only visually grounding but also highly functional. By placing the support columns toward the center, it maximizes legroom and allows you to comfortably gather family and guests around the table without the obstruction of corner legs.
Proportions and Materials
We build each table from solid wood, ensuring that the natural character, grain patterns, and unique warmth of the timber are preserved. The Charred Ember finish is sealed with a satin topcoat that provides a soft, refined sheen, protecting the wood while highlighting its organic beauty, making it resilient enough for daily use.
Built for Generations
Every Francesca table is made to order by our skilled furniture makers, ensuring that your piece is uniquely yours. Built to endure the test of time, it is a piece of furniture designed not just to fill a room, but to host a lifetime of shared meals, conversations, and celebrations.

About the Charred Ember finish
This Francesca Dining Table is finished in Charred Ember on Alder. An intense, near-black brown that anchors a space with dramatic elegance. Its depth creates a sophisticated statement.
- 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.
Our Customers Love Us
"I could not be happier with the level of customer service James & James provided. Also on an earlier order with the table, I made a mistake in the order and they went out of their way to make it right."
