Believe it or not, contemporary interiors need the grit of natural, reclaimed woods and materials to warm up. It can be subtle, balancing out fresh designs with found objects – like my uncle’s living room in San Francisco that contains a red B&B Italia sofa underneath a mounted deer head. These days, fashionably eclectic is in. Whether you live in a small mountain town in the heartland or a high-rise condo in a hip, coastal city, opting for a mountain casual console may be the perfect warm up to creating an interior that does it all.

Add Natural Volume to Your Interior Design with Thick Slabs of Reclaimed, Refined, or Raw Timber Console Tables

1. Waterfall

MANUFACTURER: From the Source
PRICE: approx. $750
Dimensions: 48-96″L x 24-32″”H x 18″D

The simple, thick slabs of wood on this Waterfall console table by the New York-based company, From the Source, matches their Waterfall writing desk and coffee table also. It’s finish can be oiled, lacquered, or left completely unfinished and although the dimensions vary, the console is built solidly using Sonokeling with a clear finish, or Ingas wood upon request.

2. Santina Teak
MANUFACTURER: Pottery Barn
PRICE: $699
Dimensions: 52″W x 18″D x 30″H

Using hand-selected teak wood that is great for either indoor or outdoor use, the Santina console table is durable to weathering, and yet a bit more finished in appearance than many mountain casual console styles. With its honey teak-oil stain for enhanced weather resistance, the table is hand sanded and buffed to perfection along its slatted surface and down its slightly angled, elegant legs.

3. Acacia Solid Root
MANUFACTURER: Flow
PRICE: Varies by size
Dimensions: 1.5-2 m L x 50-65 cm W 65-70cm H

Flow is a furniture company from Thailand that uses unique Acacia Root slabs and Rosewood to create tables and stools, among other designs. The console tables are between 1.5 to 2 meters in length, 50cm to 65cm in width and 65cm to 75cm in height, depending on the wood available at the time. Each of the tables are made of single pieces of grade A Acacia and rare Rosewood from Thailand and can be custom designed to your preference.

4. Hida
MANUFACTURER: Sitcom Furniture
PRICE: $299
Dimensions: 52″L x 16″W x 29″H

Combining a “mountain casual” design with an Asian silhouette, the fine finish of this craftsman-like Hida console comes to life using an oak veneer. Created by Sitcom Furniture, it is finished in a dark oak – making its heavy, simple presence apparent in your entryway or against a standing tall against your dining room wall.

5. Railway Sleepers
MANUFACTURER: Kubu Kayu Furniture & Art
PRICE: Varies by size
Dimensions: 47.25″W x 15.75″D x 35.4″H

One of the most spectacular uses of reclaimed wood on the market is this Railway Sleepers Console Table by Kubu Kayu. Enriching any space with warmth and a fun conversation piece, the table contains 2 drawers for function, and is an automatic heirloom piece that can be passed down from generation to generation – similar to the way the unused railway sleepers from Java, Indonesia have been re-purposed into a console for your space.

6. Dolce
MANUFACTURER: Archer & Smith
PRICE: $3,725 (£2,345)
Dimensions: 150cm W x 40cm D x 86cm H

Take mountain casual to an entirely different level using the UK-based Archer & Smith design of the Dolce console table. Using Zebrano and Fumed oak veneers, a concealed drawer lined with Burgundy suede completes the overall look and feel of this special piece. Constructed in state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, the offices and modern workshops are located in a Queen Anne Manor House in Wiltshire.

7. Nita Lake
MANUFACTURER: Live Edge Design
PRICE: $1,900
Dimensions: 72″L x 12″W x 34″H

Different than the other consoles, this Nita Lake reclaimed timber beam table design is supported on top of a steel base. Created by Live Edge Design, the combination of natural and manufactured materials is perfect for the ultra modern abode or a more traditional decor in need of an edgy piece. The base comes in a black finish or in an industrial brushed or polished nickel finish.

8. Oswald
DESIGNER: Matthew Williams
MANUFACTURER: Uttermost
PRICE: $503
Dimensions: 42″W x 32″H x 16″D

The distressed pecan finish of this cherry veneer Oswald console table by Matthew Williams for Uttermost uses raised panel accents in a smoky graphite hue for a warm effect. It can be coordinated with its matching circular mirror for a bold ensemble of thick wood lines that add depth with the dark glow of heavy wood to any interior space.

9. Long and Low
MANUFACTURER: From the Source
PRICE: approx. $650
Dimensions: up to 8′ L

Although set lower than the typical console table, the Long and Low by From the Source demands a huge presence regardless of its bench or table approach to lining your interior wall. Each of these tables are custom built, meaning no two are the same size or look. Choose between assorted woods – including teak and ingas – to deck out your up to 8′ long console table.

10. Monteith
DESIGNER: John Black
MANUFACTURER: Ficks Reed
PRICE: Available upon request
Dimensions: 60″W x 18.5″D x 32.5″H

Lighter than the gamut of consoles listed in this Top Ten, the Monteith table comes in a natural peel woven over a hardwood frame. Choose between a marble veneer top or a 1/2″ glass top with a polished edge to tone down the raw look of the tapered legs. The finish is Native, and it’s subtle presence combines elegance with nature in a perfect fusion by designer John Black for the legendary brand, Ficks Reed.
