A Welcoming Centerpiece for Daily Gathering
The dining table is the heart of the home—the place where morning coffee turns into afternoon homework sessions, and quiet family dinners stretch into long conversations with friends. Handcrafted with care, the Thaden Oval Dining Table brings a thoughtful balance of soft curves and clean lines to your dining space. Its elegant oval shape naturally softens the room, making it easier to navigate while maximizing seating comfort for everyone gathered around.
This table is built from solid knotty alder hardwood, selected for its rich grain patterns and natural character. Finished in our deep, inviting Charred Ember tone, the wood's unique knots and organic textures are beautifully highlighted, offering a refined yet grounded look. It is sized thoughtfully to fit comfortably in both dedicated dining rooms and open-concept living spaces.
Thoughtful Design, Built to Last
The Thaden features a robust plank-style surface that rests upon streamlined tapered legs. This design pairing balances classic warmth with contemporary simplicity, allowing the table to feel right at home in a variety of interiors—from a relaxed coastal cottage to a modern farmhouse. Because we build our furniture to be lived on, the solid wood construction ensures it will stand up to the beautiful chaos of daily life, growing more handsome with age.

About the Charred Ember finish
This Thaden Oval 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.
