Vintage Industrial Inspired Apartment Size Coffee Table

After numerous requests for a smaller version of my 2 drawer coffee table pictured here, I just finished one for a client. It also has iron handles I made instead of the wood pulls on the other table. Dimensions are 38" x 20" x 18" tall and I can make them for $545 in this size if you are interested. Next I am making this style in a side table so stayed tuned for pictures.

Below is a picture of the back of the table.

Busy Busy Busy

I am happy to say that I am keeping busy with orders. With 9 tables ordered in the last week, I'll be busy for the next 2 weeks with current orders. So at the moment, new orders will take about 3-4 weeks to fulfill. Happy Holidays!

Drawer Handles

I have 2 options at the moment, wood or handmade iron.

Finishes for Iron

As of now, I have 3 types of patina finishes for the iron. All are sealed with a matte clear coat.

Rust Patina - Natural rust

Natural Patina - This is how the steel comes from the mill

Acid wash patina - Treated with acid

Black Patina - Coming soon, additional cost around $50

Optional drawer

I decided to add an optional drawer for my pieces. It's handmade including the handle. I figured it would be nice to have a small hidden drawer for the clutter coffee tables collect like remote controls. My thought was to recess it a couple inches or more so it's not really seen unless you look at the table at an angle or under it. Dimensions are 10.5" wide x 12" deep x 1.5" tall, although since it hangs down 1/2" it will fit something almost 2" tall. This drawer is unfinished and not attached to the table, just sitting on a stack of CDs. Also, this could go under the bottom shelf to be even more hidden, and/or you could have multiple drawers. As always, custom sizes are available. Priced at $95 each installed on your table with a matching finish.

Here you can just see part of the handle.

If you want, the drawer could be flush mounted like this.

Drawer pulled out to expose the seldom used remotes.

Drawer removed to see the size against a 20" deep coffee table.

Or on a side table. This drawer is too wide for this table so a smaller one would fit. I think it looks great on this piece so I'd recommend flush mounting it.

Vintage Industrial Side / End Table

Inspired from the French industrial era (circa 1940s), this table is constructed entirely of iron and is riveted together for a rugged industrial / retro look. It looks vintage but not beat up. The top measures 20" x 18" and it is 26" tall making it ideal to use as a side table or an accent table. Priced at $275, contact Greg at 602-330-1234 for more information.

French Industrial Era Coffee Table / Cart

After making the previous French industrial era inspired table, I decided to make a smaller version without the drawers. It's more at home in tighter living spaces like apartments and lofts. The frame is made of iron and the wood planks are aged to a nice gray and light brown patina. The caster wheels make it easy to move around rooms and also lock. Dimensions are 38" x 20" x 18" tall. Price $345, call Greg at 602-330-1234.

French Industrial Era Coffee Table

Just finished this French industrial era inspired coffee table with caster wheels. Dimensions are 48" x 24" x 18" tall and it has 2 generous size drawers as well as locking casters to keep it in place. With two shelves and two drawers, it offers a lot of storage space for it's size. Asking $545 for this unique piece.  Here is the same table, but in a smaller size: Link

Industrial Vintage Furniture Designs That Inspire Me

I can ship too. Prices depend in the item and how it's shipped. There are some economical ways to ship too like Greyhound Package Express. All items will be packaged with care and insured.

Bulk orders may receive discounts (ie. you need 3 or more of the same design). Order 10 tables and I can get the price down even more. If my cost goes down, then so does yours.

About Me and My Designs

My Story:
Recently my wife said she needed a table for the 2 chairs she got for her birthday. Sitting at a desk all day, I missed working with my hands, so I got to work. My wife liked what I made (she has impeccable taste), but I knew I could improve on it. So I made another table for our backyard. Then after visiting several shabby chic furniture stores, and 100s of similar vintage websites, I came up with some designs that I really love. Each piece I've made is an improvement on the last design.

My Style:
I prefer designs with an industrial flair. Especially the mid-century French industrial era. My wife calls it industrial cottage. It may look like a vintage piece from Maine or Europe. I do love the east coast look which you don't see much here in Phoenix. My style is evolving with each piece I make.

The Furniture:
I craft every furniture piece by hand and each is unique.  Some of the pieces use reclaimed barn wood or metal, and others are distressed. One of my pet peeves is distressed furniture that was done poorly. So I go through a lot of effort to make my work look vintage (not old and beat up), yet keep it functional and eye catching. And it's built to last and remain in style. As it ages and wears, it looks better.  All metal and wood is sealed unless otherwise noted.  The iron (new and recycled) was purchased at a local salvage yard here in Phoenix and all of the lumber is locally bought. Even the 100 year old barn wood is from this state.

Why Am I Doing This?:
Well I love what I do. I put my blood, sweat and tears into my work (well I haven't cried yet at work but it'll probably happen sometime soon). Working with iron is awesome. Maybe it's a primal thing, but shaping metal with a hammer, heat and fire makes my day.  I tell my wife all the time that during a good day, something catches on fire. Sometimes it's me, but that's part of the excitement. I probably should stop wearing flip flops while welding and wear my boots. I also get to play around with various chemical reactions for the metal and wood finishes.  Maybe I sound like a kid at play, that's how it feels to me. I was always fascinated with the old time blacksmiths when I was younger.

Century Old Red Barn Door

Unique Red Barn Door with iron work and a leather strap. Just over 6' tall and 3' wide and it weighs around 100lbs. It's from Wickenburg, AZ circa 1907. It was basically a small shed that, over the years, turned into a small horse barn and lean to. The owner said that the last red paint job was done in 1957. It was taken down in March of 2008. This antique would make a great conversation piece alone, or could be made into some furniture like a dining table.
