About Teak Root Coffee Tables & Live Edge Furniture
Teak Root Coffee Tables
A teak root coffee table is cut from the root ball rather than the trunk, which is why the grain swirls instead of running straight. The root grows around obstacles underground, so the form is irregular by origin rather than by carving.
Teak Root Furniture and Where It Comes From
The root is what remains after a teak tree is felled for timber, and it was historically left or burned. Working it into furniture uses material that already exists rather than requiring another tree.
Live Edge Furniture
Live edge keeps the natural outer profile of the wood rather than cutting it square. On a root piece the whole form is live edge, so the table reads as sculpture that happens to hold a cup. Smaller pieces are in natural wooden stools.
Choosing a One-of-a-Kind Piece
Because each piece differs, dimensions are approximate and given as a range. Glass tops, where fitted, are cut to the individual base. Check the listed height against your sofa seat as with any wood table.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is every teak root table different?
Yes. Each is carved from one root section, so no two match in shape, size or grain. Photographs show the actual piece you receive rather than a representative example.
How stable is a teak root table?
Very. The root is dense and heavy, and the base is levelled during making so it sits flat. Weight is usually the practical concern rather than stability, since these are difficult to move alone.
Does the glass top come with it?
Where a table is designed with one, yes, cut to fit that individual base. The product page states whether a top is included and its dimensions.
Will the wood keep moving or cracking?
The root is kiln dried before carving, which does most of the settling. Fine surface checking can still appear with seasonal humidity swings. Keeping it away from a radiator or direct sun prevents most of it.
How do you clean a teak root table?
Dust the crevices with a soft brush, since the irregular surface holds more dust than a flat top. Wipe with a barely damp cloth. Teak needs no regular oiling indoors.
