The dining table is the heart of the home—a place where daily routines unfold, stories are shared, and family gathers. The Olivia Square Dining Table, handcrafted in our workshop, offers a welcoming and balanced setting for these moments. Designed with a thoughtful blend of classic and modern aesthetics, this table brings a refined presence to your dining room, inviting conversation and lingering long after the meal is finished.
Thoughtful Design & Natural Character
Crafted from solid alder, this table features our distinctive Charred Ember finish, which highlights the natural grain and unique character of the wood. The square silhouette is supported by beautifully turned legs, offering a striking balance between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design. This table is intentionally sized to foster a sense of closeness and connection, making it ideal for smaller dining spaces, cozy breakfast nooks, or dedicated game nights.
Built for Everyday Living
At James & James, we believe furniture should be lived in, not just looked at. Every Olivia table is made to order by skilled artisans who understand that a table must withstand the rigors of daily life. The solid wood construction ensures enduring quality, while the hand-applied finish protects the wood without concealing its natural warmth. This is a piece built to be gathered around for years to come, growing more characterful with every shared meal and milestone.

About the Charred Ember finish
This Olivia Square 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.
