The Finn - Trestle Dining Table
The Finn - Trestle Dining Table
This table base was first built as a commission for a client and inspired by nature and their appeal for curves. This base can be paired with a traditional rectangular tabletop or live edge depending in your style. Available in any size and wood species, this elegant design is built to be a statement piece and last your family for generations with its solid wood construction and joinery.
A trestle style table base offers several distinct benefits. First and foremost is its stability. The trestle design typically features two sturdy supports joined by a horizontal beam, providing a solid foundation that minimizes wobbling and ensures the table remains steady, even when bearing heavy loads. This stability is especially advantageous for large dining tables where durability is essential.
Additionally, trestle style tables offer versatility in seating arrangements. Unlike tables with legs at each corner, trestle tables have open space beneath them, allowing for more flexibility in seating placement. This design accommodates a greater number of chairs without interference from table legs, making it ideal for gatherings and social events.
Furthermore, the trestle style exudes timeless elegance and rustic charm, adding character and visual interest to any space. Whether used in a farmhouse-style kitchen, a modern dining room, or a cozy home office, trestle tables make a statement with their classic design and understated sophistication.
